[intro]
Ooh ooh, oh oh now now
Oh whoo, oh oh now now
I heard em say
[verse 1]
Momma take dis badge off ah me
I can't use it any more
It's getting dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knocking on heaven's door
[chorus]
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door (x4)
[verse 2]
They say I gotta put my guns to the gun, yeah
I can't shoot them any more
You see the long black cloud is coming down
Feel like I'm knocking on heaven's door
[chorus] (twice)
[verse 3]
Would someone take this gun off me now
I can't shoot em any more
Well the long black cloud is coming down
Feel like I'm knocking on heaven's door
[chorus] (repeat til end)
