Don't Fence Me In
Embrace Freedom Under Starry Skies with "Don't Fence Me In" by The Imaginaries
Lyrics
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Expressing a desire for vast expanses of land beneath the star-filled sky.
Don't fence me in
Stating the plea to avoid being confined or restricted.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Desiring the freedom to traverse the open country that holds affection.
Don't fence me in
Reiterating the aversion to being enclosed or limited.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
Yearning to experience solitude in the evening air.
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Seeking solace by listening to the gentle sound of cottonwood trees.
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Expressing a willingness to be sent away permanently, but with a request not to confine.
Don't fence me in
Reaffirming the plea for freedom from boundaries.
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Asking to be set free and allowed to sit comfortably on a saddle.
Underneath the western skies
Expressing a desire to be under the expansive skies of the western region.
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Requesting the freedom to roam in the specified direction on a horse (cayuse).
Till I see the mountains rise
Longing to witness the rise of mountains in the distance.
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Expressing a desire to reach the ridge marking the beginning of the western territory.
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
Wishing to gaze at the moon until losing awareness of the surroundings.
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Declaring an inability to tolerate restraints like hobbles and fences.
Don't fence me in
Reiterating the plea to avoid being fenced in.
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Requesting freedom to sit on a saddle without constraints.
Underneath the western skies
Desiring to be beneath the vast skies of the western region.
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Repeating the request to wander freely in the specified direction on a horse.
Till I see the mountains rise
Reiterating the longing to see mountains rise in the distance.
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
Expressing a desire to reach the ridge marking the commencement of the western territory.
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
Longing to gaze at the moon until losing awareness of the surroundings.
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Declaring an aversion to restraints like hobbles and fences.
Don't fence me in
Reiterating the plea to avoid being fenced in.
