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
