Lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]

Mama, take this badge off of me

I can't use it anymore

It's getting dark, too dark to see

Feel like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

[Chorus]

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Just like so many times before

[Verse 2]

Mama wiped the blood out of my eye

I can't see through it anymore

Something out there crawled up in my sky

And I feel that I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

[Chorus]

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knockin' on Heaven's door

[Verse 3]

Mama, put my guns in the ground

I can't find them anymore

That long black train is pullin' down

I feel like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

[Chorus]

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

On Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

On Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knockin' on Heaven's door

[Chorus]

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

[Outro]

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door
