Ron Armstrong Fences lyrics

SITTING HOME ONE DAY GAZIN' AT THE MOUNTAINS
I WANT TO GET THERE FAST GET A LITTLE SERENITY
SO MY DOG AND ME GOT IN THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING
TOWARD THE NEAREST FOOTHILL WE COULD SEE

BUT THERE WERE FENCES AROUND THE FOOTHILLS
FENCES WITH NO TRESPASSING SIGNS
FENCES TO PROTECT US
OR TO SAFEGUARD A PROPERTY OR HOME
I DIDN'T WANT TO INTRUDE

SO WE HEADED OUT OLE 94 WINDING ROADS BACK COUNTRY
THROUGH TEN THOUSAND ENCLOSED ACRES OR SO
AND OLE' LEROY WHININ' SCRATCHING AT THE WINDOW
SO I JUST PATTED HIS HEAD AND SAID
BE PATIENT BOY


THERE WERE FENCES AROUND THE MOUNTAINS
FENCES WITH NO TRESPASSING SIGNS
FENCES ALL AROUND US
PEOPLE TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES
WE ONLY NEED A LITTLE SPACE

I THOUGHT ABOUT THE COOL SALTY AIR ON THE BEACH
SO I TURNED THE CAR AROUND TRYING TO BEAT THAT NIGHT
ABOUT AN HOUR LATER A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET
BUT NOT A BIT OF OPEN LAND IN SIGHT

THERE WERE FENCES LINING THE BEACHES
FENCES THAT READ NO DOGS ALLOWED
FENCES ALL AROUND US
RULES AND REGULATIONS WEARING ME DOWN…DOWN
