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
E
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
E 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
E
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
E 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
E
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
E 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
E
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
E 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
E
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'
E 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
E
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
E D
But I'll be far away
[Verse]
D D A
Mhm Mhm Mhm
A
Mhm
E
Mhm
A
While progress toots her greedy horn
D A
And makes her motor buzz
A
I thanks the Lord I wasn't born
E D
No later than I was
