Ma, take this badge off of me.

I can't use it any more.

It's getting

dark, too dark to see.

Feel like I'm

knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Ma, take these guns away from me.

I can't shoot them any more.

There's a long

black cloud following me.

Feel like I'm

knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Ma, take this badge off of me.

I can't use it any more.

It's getting

dark, too dark to see.

Feel like I'm

knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.

Knock, knock,

knockin' on heavens door.
