Oh, give me land, lots 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 myself in the evening breeze

Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever, but I ask you please

Don't fence me in

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 until I loose my senses

I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in



Give me land, lots 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 myself in the evening breeze

Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees

Send me off forever, but I ask you please

Don't fence me in

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 until I loose my senses

I 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

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in
