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...
