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 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 until I lose my senses
 I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
 Don't fence me in
 Just set me free, ain't it grander to meander
 Like a tumblin' tumbleweed
 My horse and me, we'll go roamin' through Wyomin'
 Like a Deputy on his trusty steed
 I want to count all the stars as they shine so stellar
 Ride through the rain without a fancy umbrellar
 I'd rather sleep on rocks than be a Rockefeller
 Don't fence me in
