Don’t Fence Me In – Brian Toomey

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,

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses;

I can’t look at hobbles and I can’t stand fences —

Don’t fence me in.
