Don't fence me in
Underneath the western skies
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
I don't like hobbles and I can't stand fences
Till I see the mountains rise
Gaze at that ole moon until I lose my senses
Underneath the western skies
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Don't fence me in
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
I can't stand them hobbles and I don't care for fences
Let me ride through that wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Don't fence me in
Send me off forever but I ask you please
