Lyrics Leon Russell – 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.
