I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in

— Cole Porter Don't Fence Me In (1934)

My haven in heaven above,
You are ev'rything I love.

And you'll always have the last laugh.

Why don't you get a past?

People say, in Boston, even beans do it.
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
