[Intro]
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
I feel I’m knockin' upon heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door

I can’t shoot them anymore

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
