Don't Fence Me In Testo

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 myself in the evening 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 till i lose my senses
i can't look at the 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 till i lose my senses
i can't look at the harbors and i can't stand fences
don't fence me in
