Lyrics
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' upon 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 coming down
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's doorDemo Videos
About This Song
Knocking on Heaven's Door was written by Bob Dylan for the 1973 film "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid." While it's become a rock classic (famously covered by Guns N' Roses), its simple, moving melody and spiritual theme have made it a natural fit for bluegrass gospel sets.
