[Verse 1] I bought me a greenhouse, pure as a church Now I’m knee-deep in basil and a whole lotta work Got lettuce in rows like a poker hand spread And one stubborn tomato that won’t turn red The cucumbers climb like they own this place I’m sweatin’ in the shade with a sunburned face My mama asked, “Son, is that business or fun?” I said, “Depends on if the bugs win one” [Pre-Chorus] Well, the peppers look proud The soil smells sweet But a hornet just moved in Right by my feet [Chorus] Greenhouse farm, greenhouse farm I’m trapped in a glass-walled barn Greenhouse farm, greenhouse farm My tomatoes got a ten-acre heart (ten-acre heart) I water the beans, I shoo the bees I talk real nice to the zucchini Greenhouse farm, greenhouse farm I’m trapped in a glass-walled barn [Verse 2] I got a little thermometer hangin’ by a string That thing’s got more mood than anything Too hot for the kale, too cold for my back So I open that door and the flies attack I named one squash “Duke” and one “Miss June” ’Cause they took off growin’ by a quarter to noon And every time I think I’m finally set Some raccoon comes by with a shopping cart bet [Pre-Chorus] The basil’s in charge The mint’s got sass And that one stray chicken Won’t leave my class [Chorus] Greenhouse farm, greenhouse farm I’m trapped in a glass-walled barn Greenhouse farm, greenhouse farm My tomatoes got a ten-acre heart (ten-acre heart) I water the beans, I shoo the bees I talk real nice to the zucchini Greenhouse farm, greenhouse farm I’m trapped in a glass-walled barn [Bridge] My boots got mud, my hands got green I’ve never seen a more expensive bean But I grin at dawn when the dew rolls in ’Cause that little glass box keeps the whole town fed [Final Chorus] Greenhouse farm, greenhouse farm I’m trapped in a glass-walled barn Greenhouse farm, greenhouse farm My tomatoes got a ten-acre heart (ten-acre heart) I water the beans, I shoo the bees I talk real nice to the zucchini Greenhouse farm, greenhouse farm I’m trapped in a glass-walled barn [Outro] Yeah, I’m trapped in a glass-walled barn And I wouldn’t trade it for a brand-new car
