Don't Fence In Gary Cooper

Don’t Fence In Gary Cooper

Don’t fence in Gary Cooper

Let him ride the range alone

He’s content to be in the saddle

With endless days to roam

And when he gets a bit thirsty

He’ll pack up all his gear

And head his horse for the next town

To drink a bottle of beer

Don’t fence in Gary Cooper

Let him drink his beer alone

He’s happiest when he’s single

He’s not looking for a home

So put your ribbons away girl

Go back to mopping the floor

Your cowboy’s not a lover

He’s walking out the door

Don’t fence in Gary Cooper

He’s the one you’ll never get

Just wave goodbye and give a sigh

And let him ride off into the sunset

DiAnne Perez 1978
