Guns N' Roses - Knockin' On Heaven's Door
This song is written from the perspective of a dying sheriff: "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." Bob Dylan
wrote it for the 1973 western film, Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid. It plays while Sheriff Colin Baker is dying from his gunshot wounds. Dylan cameos in the movie as the character, Alias.
