KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR

(Bob Dylan - 1973)

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel 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

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel 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

Extra verse sung on the 'At Budokan' Live album.

Mama, wipe the blood from my face
I can't see through it anymore
It's a feeling that I just can't trace
Feeling like I'm knocking on heaven's door.

Extra verses sung on the 'Live 1975 - Bootleg Series Vol. 5

Mama, wipe the blood off of my face.
I can't see through it anymore.
I need someone to talk to and a new hiding place.
Feel like I'm looking at heaven's door.

Mama, I can't hear that thunder roar.
Looking way down from God's distance shore.
I can hear them calling for my soul.
Feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
