Knockin on Heavens Door 3-21-84 Songtext
von Grateful Dead

Mama take this badge from me
I can′t use it anymore
It's gettin′ dark, too dark to see
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

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin′ down
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

You just better start sniffin' your own rank subjugation Jack
′Cause it's just you against your tattered libido, the bank and the mortician
Forever man
And it wouldn′t be luck if you could get out of life alive

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

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


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
