Don't Fence Me In

O give me land, lots of land, and the 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

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 on 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

To many words, gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

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

Don't fence me in



O give me land, lots of land, and the 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

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 on 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

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

Don't fence me in
