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 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 old saddle underneath the Western skies
On my cayuse
Let me wander over yonder `til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze about the moon until I lose my senses
Can`t look at hobbles and I can`t stand fences
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 `til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze about the moon until I lose my senses
Can`t look at hobbles and I can`t stand fences
Don`t fence me in
Don`t fence me in
Don`t you fence me in
