Don’t Fence Me In

O give me land, lots of land
And the starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide
Open country that I love, don't fence me in
O let me be by myself in the evening breeze
And 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 and I'll straddle on
My saddle underneath the western skies
On my cayoose let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise
O let me ride to the
Ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and
I can't stand fences, don't fence me in
