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,
Dont 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,
Dont 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,
Cant look at hobbles and I cant stand fences,
Dont fence me in!
(Repeat Refrain)
