Medley: Don’t Fence Me In / If I Had My Way / Deep in the Heart of Texas

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
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 straddlе my old saddle)
(Underneath thе 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 till I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in

If I had my way, dear, forever there'd be
A garden of roses for you and for me
A thousand and one things, dear, I would do
Just for you, only you

If I had my way, dear, we'd never grow old
And sunshine I'd bring every day
You would reign all alone like a king on a throne
If I had my way

The stars at night are big and bright
(Deep in the heart of Texas)
The prairie sky is wide and high
(Deep in the heart of Texas)

The coyotes wail along the trail
(Deep in the heart of Texas)
The rabbits rush around the brush
(Deep in the heart of Texas)

The sage in bloom is like perfume
(Deep in the heart of Texas)
Reminds me of the one I love
(Deep in the heart of Texas)

Cowboys cry ki yippee yi
(Deep in the heart of Texas)
The dogies bawl and bawl and bawl
(Deep in the heart)
(Deep in the heart)
Deep in the heart of Texas
