Don't Fence Me In

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 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
