Don't Fence Me In Songtext
von Steve Goodman

Give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don′t fence me in
I want to ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breezes
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees-es
Send me off forever all I ask you please is
Don′t fence me in

Just turn me loose
Let me straddle my old cattle underneath the Western skies
On my cayuse
Let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
And gaze at the moon till 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 those old cattle underneath the Western skies
On my cayuse
Let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
I 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 Western skies
On my cayuse
Let me wander over yonder till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can′t stand fences
Don't fence me in
Don′t fence me in

Straddling cattle? Good, they're only words
