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
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 stand hobbles, and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
(Don't fence me in)
(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
(Underneath the Western skies)
On my cayuse, let me wander, over yonder
Till I see the mountains' rise
(Mountains high!)
I want to ride to the ridge, where the West commences
Gaze at the moon, till I lose my senses
Can't stand hobbles, and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
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
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 stand hobbles, and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
(Don't fence me in)
(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
(Underneath the Western skies)
On my cayuse, let me wander, over yonder
Till I see the mountains' rise
(Mountains high!)
I want to ride to the ridge, where the West commences
Gaze at the moon, till I lose my senses
Can't stand hobbles, and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
