Don't Fence Me In

Don't Fence Me In - Moe Bandy

Oh give me land

Lots of land under starry skies above

Don't fence me in

Let me ride through the wide open country

That I love

Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze

And 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

And gaze at the moon

Till I lose my senses

And I can't look at hovels

And I can't stand fences

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 country

That I love

Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze

And listen to the murmur

Of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever but I ask you please

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in
