Don't Fence Me in Songtext

von Riders In the Sky

Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open spaces that I love
Don't fence me in

I wanna 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 wanna ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
I can't look at harbors 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 wanna ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
I can't look at harbors and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in, don't fence me in
No, no don't fence me in
