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

Don't fence me in.

Let me be by myself in the evening breeze,
F
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Em A
Send me off forever, but I ask you please,
C Em G C
Don't fence me in.
F
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle,

Underneath the western skies,

On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder,
C
Till I see the mountains rise.
G Bm7 C
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences,

And gaze at the moon until I lose my senses,

C Em G C
Don't fence me in.
