Well, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above |
|
But don't fence me in |
|
Let me ride through that wide open country that I love |
|
Don't fence me in |
|
Let me be by myself in the evenin' 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 |
|
I don't like hobbles and I can't stand fences |
|
Don't fence me in |
|
(instrumental break) |
|
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 that ole moon until I lose my senses |
|
I can't stand them hobbles and I don't care for fences |
|
Don't fence me in |
|
Oh no...don't you fence me in |
