Give me land lots of land under 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
Listening to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off for ever 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 'til I see the mountain rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
