Lyrics Tommy Edwards

Tommy Edwards

Don't Fence Me In

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

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

Till I lose my senses

Can't look at hobbles

And I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

Don't fence me in

No, don't fence me in

No, don't, don't fence me in
