HARRY CONNICK, JR. lyrics - Don't Fence Me In

Well, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above

But don't fence me in

Let me ride through that wide open country that i love

Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin' 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

I don't like hobbles and i can't stand fences

Don't fence me in



[Instrumental break]



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 that ole moon until i lose my senses

I can't stand them hobbles and i don't care for fences

Don't fence me in



Oh no...don't you fence me in
