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 (instrumental break) 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
