Don't Fence Me In

Don't fence me in.



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 evening breeze

Listening to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off for ever but I ask you please

Don't fence me in



Just turn me loose let me straddle underneath the western skies

On my cayuse let me wander over yonder 'til I see the mountain rise



I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences

Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses

Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in.
