1. Mama, take this badge off of me...
I can't use it anymore...
It's getting dark, too dark to see...
Feel I'm knocking on heaven's door...
R: Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door...
Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door...
Knock..knock..knocking on heaven's door...
2. Mama put my guns in the ground...
I can't shoot them anymore...
That long black cloud is coming down...
I feel I'm knocking on heaven's door...
R: Knock..knock...
3. Baby stay right here with me...
'Cause I can't see you anymore...
This ain't the way it's supposed to be...
I feel I'm knocking on heaven's door...
R: Knock..knock...
4. Son won't you remember me?...
I can't be with you anymore...
A lawman's life is never free...
I feel I'm knocking on heaven's door...
R: Knock..knock...
