Wade Bowen - Standards lyrics

Record man came and sat me down He said I got some songs for you There's one about a dirt road I think you outta' do So I gave it a listen And it wasn't all that bad But it ain't me, so I shook my head And that's all there is to that [Chorus:] I don't have hits I've got standards Tell me how can I sell out? If I barely sell at all You won't see my name on the billboard Every night I pack the dance floor There's your answer I don't have hits, I have standards He just smiled, he rolled his eyes And said: "how can I make you see?" We just need one big hit And the rest will be history If we could just find a way to compromise You could be the next big star But I said man you might be right But I don't care if you are [Chorus:] I don't have hits I've got standards Tell me how can I sell out? If I barely sell at all You won't see my name on the billboard Every night I pack the dance floor There's your answer I don't have hits, I have standards Well don't get me wrong I want to hear my songs on country radio But if [?] standing here seeing you at the show [Chorus:] I don't have hits I've got standards Tell me how can I sell out? If I barely sell at all You won't see my name on the billboard Every night I pack the dance floor There's your answer I don't have hits, I have standards
