    Lyrics:
    Mama, take this badge off of me
    I can't use it anymore
    It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
    I feel 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 long black cloud is comin' down
    I feel 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

I lost my baby brother, I know the heart ache, all’s I can say is that God better be there for us to be together again. It’s so hard to have faith when there’s children and little animals suffering so horribly everywhere. Without faith we have nothing so I’ll take my faith and keep praying.

    Guys, this song really isn't about being too old to do the things you used to and slowly making your way back to God, leaving behind all the things that defined you in your mortal life. That is a really nice interpretation of it as well imo, but it really is about the scene from the movie it comes from. A lawman gets shot and as he slowly stumbles his way to a rock to look off into the sunset; his wife follows him and can't bear to embrace him, she just falls to the ground out of of his reach, looking at him with tears in his eyes. He looks at her shocked, afraid and as if to say 'sorry'. She gives a sad smile. He acknowledges it, still afraid, and looks back towards the sun.

He loved and lived Bob Dylan, his greatest treasure was a Dylan songbook. He always got the people who listened to him in a minute and he made seldom less than 100,- in two hours. Then he spent it all for beer to forget the pain in his soul for the rest of the day, falling asleep under bridges.

    The song reflects themes of mortality, resignation, and the approach of death. The narrator, addressing his "Mama," expresses a sense of weariness and surrender, indicating that he can no longer carry the burdens symbolized by his badge and guns. The repetition of "Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door" emphasizes the urgency and inevitability of his situation, as if he is on the brink of passing away and knocking on the door of the afterlife. The imagery of darkness and the approaching storm further underscores the impending sense of finality and closure. Overall, the song captures the emotional weight of facing mortality and the acceptance of one's fate.

      Yes this is what I have learned about the song. Bob wrote and recorded "Pat Garrett and Billy the kid" sound track for the movie then when the sheriff gets shot he knows it's over for him and the song is playing in the back round while the sheriff is laying on the ground and the song is singing take this badge I can't use it no more etc...

    One of my childhood friends passed away today...im playing this song in his honor. At least now he can have some peace in this truly chaotic world! RIP...today is truly a very sad day for me. :(

      the piano instrumental from Lucifer is a close second to this one tho, having no lyrics somehow makes it more impactful, especially when you know why he was playing it in sadness

      The original isn't always better this is a good example original is good but the new one is better. Same with all along the watchtower Dylan version is okay but the hendrix version is iconic

    my dad passed away on 29 August this year and he always had bob dylan playing in the house when growing up, he taught me to appreciate music especially from probably the best song writer ever, i play this now in the car and would have a wee cry but his favourite was like a rolling stone which we played at his funeral, really miss him so much 😢 😢

    I had the urge to listen to this song and mistakenly went to Guns and Roses' version, had to come here to cleanse my soul.
