Leon Russell - Don't Fence Me In Lyrics






Oh give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the 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 out 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 until I lose my senses.
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences.
Don't fence me in.

Just turn me loose
...
Don't fence me in, don't fence me in.

    Best version of this old chestnut by Cole Porter _(lyrics based upon a poem by the western poet Robert Fletcher)_ I have ever heard.

    RIP, Leon. The fence is wide open now, Leon, and nothing but green pasture.
