Don't Fence Me In

Oh, Give me land, lots of land,
'neath the starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride thru 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 mountain rise.

I want to ride to the ridge
where the west commences,
Gaze at the moon 'til I loose my senses,
Can’t look at hobbles and I can’t stand fences,
Don’t fence me in!

(Repeat Refrain)
