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
Just let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
I'll 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
I'll gaze at the moon 'till I lose my senses
I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Oh, don't, 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
I'll gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
Oh, don't you fence me in
Don't, don't you fence me in
Don't you fence me in
