[Verse 1: Adam Gardner]
Glad you made it, welcome to the farm
Who's your daddy? I'm your daddy now
I'm here seeking only what I need
In your mind is where I'll plant my seed
It's for sure
[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
Let me keep you in this place
You'll be better off this way
I will keep you warm and safe
You'll be better off this way
You learn to love the price you pay
Trust me dear you're better off this way
[Verse 2: Adam Gardner/Gardner & Ryan Miller]
Put to bed the sun and sister moon
I'll be hiding in your dirty room
I'll go there seeking only what I need
La ti da we'll stay there 'til we bleed
It's for sure
[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
Oh, let me keep you in this place
You'll be better off this way
I will keep you warm and safe
You'll be better off this way
I will not wake you from your sleep
Leave you wandering counting sheep
No more sad and sunshine days
Trust me dear, you're better off this way
You'll be selling books at the airport
