Don't Fence Me In Lyrics - Tommy Edwards

Oh give me land, lots of land, and the 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 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 on 

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 

To many words, 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 

Oh give me land, lots of land, and the 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 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 on 

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 

No, Papa, don't you fence me in
