DON'T FENCE ME IN.

GIVE ME LAND LOTS OF LAND UNDER STARRY SKIES ABOVE
DON'T FENCE ME IN
LET ME RIDE THROUGH THE WIDE OPEN COUNTRY THAT I LOVE
DON'T FENCE ME IN

LET ME BE BY MYSELF IN THE EVENING BREEZE
LISTENING TO THE MURMUR OF THE COTTONWOOD TREES
SEND ME OFF FOR EVER BUT I ASK YOU PLEASE
DON'T FENCE ME IN

JUST TURN ME LOOSE LET ME STRADDLE UNDERNEATH THE WESTERN SKIES
ON MY CAYUSE LET ME WANDER OVER YONDER 'TIL I SEE THE MOUNTAIN RISE

I WANT TO RIDE TO THE RIDGE WHERE THE WEST COMMENCES
GAZE AT THE MOON UNTIL I LOSE MY SENSES
CAN'T LOOK AT HOBBLES AND I CAN'T STAND FENCES
DON'T FENCE ME IN.
