I'm like a bird loating in the sky
That can't decide which way to fly
Don't know where I'm going or what I'll find
But I've got to go for my own piece of mind

Don't build no fences for me
Don't plant no flowers or evergreens
Too many places that I haven't seen
Don't build no fences for me

Fences you're building in your mind
Are built with strands of love and time
The fields of life you are building them around
Should be with someone who won't let you down

Don't build no fences for me
Don't plant no flowers or evergreens
Too many places that I haven't seen
Don't build no fences for me

But go and sew your fields of life
And build your fences high and wide
Then should I wander back one day
I won't blame you if you turn me away

Don't build no fences for me
Don't plant no flowers or evergreens
Too many places that I haven't seen
Don't build no fences for me

Don't build no fences for me
Don't plant no flowers or evergreens
Too many places that I haven't seen
Don't build no fences for me
