Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Because this blog wouldn't be this blog if it didn't have this track. It takes a lot to wake up a kid from a dream when he has just realised his life isn't going to turn out the way he thought it would.

Mama, take this badge off of me

I can’t use it anymore

It’s gettin’ dark, too dark for me to see

I feel like I’m 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 comin’ down

I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door
