Dont Fence Me In

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