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 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.

And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in.

The words are from Cole Porter's song 'Don't Fence Me In'.
The holidays are almost, almost here...and all I long to do is 'Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses'
