Текст Wade Bowen – Standards
Текст:
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
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
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
