don't fence me in

Lyrics

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
