Verse
E
I rode across a valley range
A E
I hadn't seen for years
E
The trail was all so spoilt and strange
B
It nearly fetched the tears
E
I had to let ten fences down
A E
The fussy lanes ran wrong
E
And each new line would make me frown
B A E
And hum this mournin' song
[Chorus]
A A E
Mhm, hear 'em stretchin' of the wire
E
The urban brand is on the land
B
I reckon I'll retire
E
While progress toots her greedy horn
A E
And makes her motor buzz
E
I thanks the Lord I wasn't born
B A E
No later than I was
[Verse]
E
'Twas good to live when all the sod
A E
Without no fence or fuss
E
Belonged in partnership with God
B
Mother Nature and to us
E
Where skyline bounds from east to west
A E
And room to go and come
E
I loved my fellow man the best
B A E
When he was scattered some
[Chorus]
A A E
Mhm, closer and closer crawls the wire
E
There's hardly place to step away
B
And call a man a liar
E
Their house has locks on every door
A E
Their land is in a crate
E
These ain't the plains of God no more
B A E
They're only real estate
[Verse]
E
When my old soul hunts range and rest
A E
Beyond the last divide
E
Just plant me in some stretch of West
B
Sunny, lone and wide
E
Let cattle rub the tombstone round
A E
And coyotes mourn their kin
E
Let horses come and paw the moun'
B A E
But don't you fence it in
[Chorus]
A A E
Mhm, far and farther flings the wire
E
To crowd and pinch another inch
B
It's all their heart's desire
E
The world is overstocked with men
A E
And some will see the day
E
When each must keep his little pen
B A
But I'll be far away
[Verse]
A A E
Mhm Mhm Mhm
E
Mhm
B
Mhm
E
While progress toots her greedy horn
A E
And makes her motor buzz
E
I thanks the Lord I wasn't born
B A
No later than I was
