Don't Fence Me In Songtext
von Asleep at the Wheel

Ah, this old theater reminds me of this song

Oh, 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 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

Oh, turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the Texas sky
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountain high, oh


I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And 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

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the Texas sky
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountain high, high

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

Ride on me, baby, don't fence me in
Don′t like barbed wire, don't fence me in
That′s right
