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