Hein & Oss - Don't Fence Me in lyrics

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 by myself in the evening breeze And listen to the murmur of the cotton-wood 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 And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses And I can look at hobbles but I can't stand fences – Don't fence me in!
