Lyrics
Don’t Fence Me In
My heart just wants to roam
My body doesn't need a home
Whether happiness or pain
A sunny day or heavy rain
I'll be running up until the end
But don't fence me in!
I wanna see some empty space
Not be confined inside this place
I'm gonna make my own mistakes
I'll take a fall or I'll be great
I'll be running up until the end
But don't fence me in!
CHORUS
Don't fence me in I'll break the chains
I'll pick the lock and get away
This spirit that I have just can't be tamed
save your hammer and your nails
to build your own jail cell
I've told you time and time again
Don't fence me in!
I'll be still for just one minute
catch my breath and get back in it
Some say to take it slow
but goin' slow is growing old
I'll be running up until the end
Don't fence me in!
CHORUS
Don't fence me in I'll break the chains
I'll pick the lock and get away
This spirit that I have just can't be tamed
save your hammer and your nails
to build your own jail cell
I've told you time and time again
Don't fence me in!
BRIDGE
While they're dying in their beds
And wondering if they've really lived
I be ready to go home
To shed this skin and burn these bones
I've lived it high and lived it low
Now there's no place left to go
This world's confining me again
Don't fence me in!
Don't fence me in I'll break the chains
I'll pick the lock and get away
This spirit that I have just can't be tamed
save your hammer and your nails
to build your own jail cell
I've told you time and time again
Don't fence me in!
