Harry Connick, Jr. - 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 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

[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]

Oh no, don't you fence me in
