Knocking on Heaven's Door (live in Boston, MA, 1985) Lyrics

"This is a song that I taught Bono how to play"

Mama take this badge of of me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, to dark to see
I feel like I'm knocking kn heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them any more
Theres a long black train a comin' down
Feel like I'm knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door

Oh Mama wipe the blood from my face
I'm sick and tired of all this war
There's a lot of people feeling just like me
Feel like we're knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
"Let me hear you sing it now"
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door
Knock, knock, knocking on heavens door

"Sing it with me"
I'm knocking on heaven's door
Knocking on heaven's door

"Goodnight Boston, thank you"
