[Verse 1]
OH 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
LISTEN TO THE MURMUR OF THE COTTONWOOD TREES.
SEND ME OFF FOREVER BUT I ASK YOU PLEASE,
DON T FENCE ME IN.
[Verse 2]
JUST TURN ME LOOSE LET ME STRADDLE MY OLD SADDLE
UNDERNEATH THE WESTERN SKYS
ON MY KIOOSE LET ME WANDER OVER YONDER
TILL I SEE THE MOUNTAIN RISE.
I WANT TO RIDE TO THE RIDGE WHERE THE WEST COMMENSES.
GAZE AT THE MOON UNTILL I LOSE MY SENSES
I CAN T LOOK AT HOBBLES AND I CAN T STAND FENCES.
DON T FENCE ME IN.
