Ma, take this badge out of me.
'Cause I can't use it anymore.
It's getting dark, too dark to see.
I feel like I'm 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

Ma, put these guns in the ground.

'Cause I can't shoot them anymore.
That long dark cloud is coming down.
Feel like I'm 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
