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