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

Here′s some western music

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 evenin' breeze
And 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 skies
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
′Til I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to this ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon ′til I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can′t stand fences
Don't fence me in


Oh don′t fence Jason in, he likes to fiddle around, folks, yeah

Oh Jimmy

Won't you turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the Texas skies
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
′Til I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can′t stand fences

Don′t fence me in (I know me baby)
Don't fence me in (don′t like barbwire)
Don't fence me in (right)


Uh what we′re gonna do right here now is
I don't know how many of y′all were lucky enough
To catch our television special with Dolly Parton and Vince Gill, but if you were
You will have noticed this young man and he's joined us
On the road again, make him welcome to sing for you
The bilingual experience of a lifetime
Ladies and gentlemen, Mister Hayden Patera, are you ready boys?
