lifeblood: songs: lyrics: knockin' on heaven's door


mama take this badge off of me
i can't wear it anymore
it's getting too dark, too dark to see
and i feel like i'm
feel i'm knockin' on heaven's door
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
i feel like, i feel like i'm
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
i said i, i feel i'm
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
mama mama mama
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
oh

take these guns and put em to the ground
i can't, i can't, i can't
i just can't shoot them anymore
there's a long black cloud
there's a long black cloud
you know it's a, it's a comin' down
i feel i, i feel i, i feel i'm
i feel i'm knockin' on heaven's door
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
now i said mama mama
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
oh now
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
oh
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

wipe this blood from my face
i can't see through the walls
six white horses coming to carry me away
i feel i'm knockin' on heaven's door
i'm
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
gonna take me, gonna take me, gonna take me now
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
wipe this, wipe this, wipe this, wipe this
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
oh mama i'm
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

mama take these chains off of me
cause i don't, i don't want them anymore
they're getting too damn heavy
and i'm crawling across the floor
i feel like, i feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door
oh mama
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
ah mama mama mama
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
gonna take me, gonna take me, gonna take me
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
oh
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
oh i'm
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
i'm knockin'
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
oh i'm knockin'
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
oh i'm i i i'm knockin'
knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
