Texty: Dave Dudley. Don't Fence Me In.

Oh, 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
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me out 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
By myself, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountain rise

I wanna 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

Just turn me loose
Underneath the western skies
By myself, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountain rise

I wanna 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, don't fence me in
Oh don't fence me in, don't fence me in
