Don't Fence Me In

Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above Don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide open spaces that I love Don't fence me in I wanna 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 wanna ride to the ridge where the west commences Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses I can't look at harbors 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 wanna ride to the ridge where the west commences Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses I can't look at harbors and I can't stand fences Don't fence me in, don't fence me in No, no don't fence me in
