Don't Fence Me In
Frank Sinatra
O give me land, lots of land, under the starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
O let me be by myself in the evening breeze,
And 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 and I'll straddle on my saddle
underneath the western skies.
On my cayoose 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.
Repeat all
