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 door

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.
