re: #83 Gus 802

Was thinking. That idiot, Beck, better not listen to “Don’t Fence Me In.”

Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above
Don’t fence me in
Let me ride thru the wide-open country that I love
Don’t fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you please
Don’t fence me in
Don’t fence me in

Give me land and no fences!

Fences and no trespassing signs are common song writing themes.

One suspects that Beck likes those other verses of This Land is Your Land…

Out in the country, far from a highway
There is this land here, and it is my way
Don’t ever come here, or you’ll be sorry
This land was made just for me

This land is my land, it isn’t your land
I got a shotgun, and you don’t got none
If you don’t get off, I’ll blow your head off
This land was made just for me

So keep away now, Don’t ruin my day now
My property’s private, you cannot buy it
Go find your own land, Just be a lone man
This land was made just for me

This land is my land, it isn’t your land
I got a shotgun, and you don’t got none
If you don’t get off, I’ll blow your head off
This land was made just for me
