Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (Dylan 30th Anniversary) Lyrics

Mama take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting 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 wipe the blood from my hands
I can't see through it anymore
Long black train is heading on down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heavne'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
See Bob Dylan Live

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

This was the concert’s big group singalong; it is credited on the record to ‘Everyone.’ Dylan sings the verses though. A lot of people are on stage; and the video was used to determine who was playing what or singing along. (Though quite a few were just on stage watching, not performing.)
