Oh give me land lot's of land under starry skies above

Don't fence me in

Let me ride thru the wide open country that I love

Don't fence me in

Let me be by my self in the evening breeze

listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forerver but I ask you please

Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose

Let's me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies

On my cayuse let me wander over yonder till I see the
mountain rise

I want to 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

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in
