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 hubbles and I can't stand fences don't fence me in Just turn me loose... Don't fence me in oh don't fence me in don't fence me in
