Don't Fence Me In

Oh give me land

Lots of land under starry skies above

Don't fence me in

Let me ride through the wide

Open the basis that I love

Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze

Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever but I ask you please

Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose

Let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies

On my cayuse

Let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge

Where the west commences

Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

I can't look at hobbles

And I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

Turn me loose

Let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies

On my Cayuse

Let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge

Where the west commences

Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

I can't look at hobbles

And I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

Don't Fence Me In
