Gus Backus - Don't Fence Me in 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 evenin 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 And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences 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 Ganze at the moon till I lose my senses And I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences Don't fence me in
