Don't Fence Me In

O give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above, dont fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love, dont fence me in. O let me be by myself in the evening breeze, And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees, Send me off forever but I ask you please, dont fence me in. Just turn me loose and Ill straddle on my saddle underneath the western skies. On my cayoose let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise. O let me ride to the ridge where the west commences, Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses, Cant look at hobbles and I cant stand fences, dont fence me in.
