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 out 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

By myself, let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountain rise

I wanna 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

Just turn me loose

Underneath the western skies

By myself, let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountain rise

I wanna 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, don't fence me in

Oh don't fence me in, don't fence me in
