Record man came and sat me down
He said I've got some songs for you
There's one about a dirt road
I really think you oughta 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
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
But Every night I pack the the dance floor
There's your answer, I don't have hits
I've got standards.
Well he just smiled, he rolled his eyes
He said how can I make you see?
We just need one big hit and the rest will be history
If we could find a way compromise
You can be the next big star
I said, Man you might be right
But I don't care if you are
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've got standards
Well, don't get me wrong, I wanna hear my songs on Country radio
But it's gotta feel right, standing here singing them at the show
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've got standards
Yeah, well, there's your answer
I don't have hits, I've got standards
