Mama, come wipe this blood off my face
I can't see straight anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
It feels 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

Come put my guns down underground
I can't use them anymore
Long dark cloud comin' down on me
Feels 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

Come take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
It feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
(Wipe this blood off my face)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
(Won't you put my guns down underground?)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
(Come take this badge off me)

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
(Wipe this blood off my face)
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
(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
