[Verse 1]
Crawlin’ til I learn how to run ... Paid for having too much fun
Gamblin’ for a thrill, another hard pill, ... South of a Southbound gun
Can’t win… I’m all in ... America’s favorite son
[Verse 2]
What a tangled web we’ve spun ... Dying to be number one
Jones’ Jones,... Loan shark loans, ... Swinging for a big homerun
Swing away ... That’s game ... 3 strikes you’re done
[Chorus]
I’m Knockin’ on the Sky, ... Gonna listen to the sound
Rockin’ in my mind, ... Knowing you’re around
Cross a miracle mile, ... Reaching for the crown
Asking all the while, ... Will your love be comin’ down
Or will you lift me up ... Let me touch the sun
I’ll be Knockin on the Sky ... Til’ I’m done ... Til’ I’m done
[Verse 3]
Life can take such a toll ... A street fight’s midnight cold
Down the drain of the same old same ... Sure is getting old
I’m free …though I bleed ... Ain’t gonna sell my soul
[Chorus]
I’m Knockin’ on the Sky, ... Gonna listen to the sound
Rockin’ in my mind, ... Knowing you’re around
Cross a miracle mile, ... Searchin’ for my crown
Asking all the while, ... Will your love be comin’ down
Or will you lift me up ... Let me touch the sun
I’ll be Knockin on the Sky ... Til’ I’m done ... Til’ I’m done
