Retro Lyrics

 

DON'T FENCE ME IN

 

Wild Cat Kelly lookin' mighty pale                               

Was standin' by the sheriff's side      

And when that sheriff said I'm sendin' you to jail           

Wild Cat raised his head and cried

 

Oh give me land lots 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 evenin' breeze

Listen to the murmur of the cotton wood 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

'Til I see the mountains rise                                        

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences

And gaze at the moon 'til I loose my senses

I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in
