Norman Smith  | Late Western Light (pastel)
Just turn me loose, 
Let me straddle my old saddle 
Underneath the western skies, 
On my cay-use 
Let me wander over yonder 
Till I see the mountains rise. 
I want to ride to the ridge 
Where the West commences, 
Gaze at the moon 
Till I lose my senses; 
Can’t look at hobbles 
And I can’t stand fences, 
Don’t fence me in.

Norman Smith  | Late Western Light (pastel)

Just turn me loose,

Let me straddle my old saddle

Underneath the western skies,

On my cay-use

Let me wander over yonder

Till I see the mountains rise.

I want to ride to the ridge

Where the West commences,

Gaze at the moon

Till I lose my senses;

Can’t look at hobbles

And I can’t stand fences,

Don’t fence me in.
