Back where a friend is a friend

Where the lonesome longhorns feed

On the scattered jimson weed,

I'm back in the saddle again!

Ride Cowboy!

(great memory)

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

And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood 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

Till I see the mountains rise

I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses

And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences

Don't fence me in

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above

Don't fence me in

Let me ride through the wide country that I love

Don't fence me in

Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze

And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood 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

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

On my Cayuse

Let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences

And gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses

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

Don't fence me in

No, Papa, don't you fence me in

Notice the drool? I bet it's been drugged...

I see those detective classes are really paying off...

Gaddam, there was a guy came 'round once a year with the pony and a camera--I thought my neighborhood was special!

Even as doped-up as the pony looks you couldn't do this today because of the liability.

Ice cream truck once a day, guy selling enchiladas and tamales once a week. Do'nt see this stuff anymore
