Don't Fence Me In Lyrics - Harry Connick, Jr.

Well, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above 

But don't fence me in 

Let me ride through that 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 

I don't like 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 

Gaze at that ole moon until I lose my senses 

I can't stand them hobbles and I don't care for fences 

Don't fence me in 

Oh no don't you fence me in
