Lyrics[]
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 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
Can't look at hobbles
And I can't stand fences
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
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
