Don't Fence Me In
Embrace Freedom Under Western Skies
Lyrics
O give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above
Expresses a desire for vast land and expansive skies
Don't fence me in
Emphasizes the plea to avoid confining or restricting
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Wants the freedom to travel through the open country
Don't fence me in
Reiterates the desire to be free from limitations
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Desire to enjoy solitude in the evening air
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Enjoys listening to the soft sounds of specific trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Asks not to be confined even if leaving permanently
Don't fence me in
Reaffirms the plea for freedom from constraints
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my on saddle
Requests to be set free to ride independently
Underneath the western skies
Desire to explore under the open skies of the West
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Expresses a longing to wander freely in a specific direction
Till I see the mountains rise
Wants to travel until seeing mountains emerge
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Yearns to reach the boundary where the West begins
To many words, gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
Desires to contemplate quietly under the moon's gaze
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Expresses an inability to tolerate restrictions or limitations
Don't fence me in
Reiterates the plea to avoid being fenced in
O give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above
Repeats the longing for wide-open land and skies
Don't fence me in
Reiterates the desire not to be confined or restrained
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Wants the freedom to travel through beloved open spaces
Don't fence me in
Reaffirms the plea to avoid limitations
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Desire to experience solitude in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Enjoys the gentle sounds of specific trees while alone
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Asks not to be confined even if leaving permanently
Don't fence me in
Reaffirms the plea for freedom from constraints
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my on saddle
Requests to be set free to ride independently
Underneath the western skies
Desire to explore under the open skies of the West
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Expresses a longing to wander freely in a specific direction
Till I see the mountains rise
Wants to travel until seeing mountains emerge
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Yearns to reach the boundary where the West begins
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
Desires to contemplate quietly under the moon's gaze
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Expresses an inability to tolerate restrictions or limitations
Don't fence me in
Reiterates the plea to avoid being fenced in
