Family Tradition Hank Williams Jr.
[E]Country music singers,
Have always been a [A] real close family,
But [B] lately some of my kinfolk,
Have disowned a few others and [E]me,
I guess it's because, I kinda' [A]changed my direction,
[B]Lord I guess I went and broke their family [E]tradition,
They get on me and wanna' know Hank,
CHORUS
[E]Why do ya drink?,
Hank [A]why do you roll smoke?,
And [B]why must you live out the songs that you [E]wrote?,
Over and over every [A]body met my prediction,
If [B]I get stoned I'm just carrying on an old family [E]tradition
[E]I am very proud, [A]of my daddy's name,
[B]Although his kind of music and [A]mine ain't exactly the [E]same,
Stop and think it over, put your[A]self in my position,
If [B]I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family [E]tradition,
So don't ask me Hank,
[E]Why do ya drink?, Hank [A]why do you roll smoke?,
And [B]why must you live out the songs that you [E]wrote?,
[E]If I'm down in a honky tonk and some ol' [A]slick tries to give me friction,
I'll say [B]leave me alone I'm singin' all night long 'cause it's a,
family [E]tradition
[E]Lordy I have loved some ladies, and [A]I have loved Jim Beam,
And [B]they both tried to kill me, in [A]197[E]3,
[E]When that doctor asked me, son [A]how'd ya get in this position?,
I said a [B]hey sawbones I'm just a carrying on and ol' family [E]tradition,
So don't ask me Hank,
[E]Why do ya drink?, Hank [A]why do you roll smoke?,
And [B]why must you live out the songs that you [E]wrote?,
[E]Stop and think it over, put your[A]self in my unique position,
If [B]I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family [E]tradition.
Hey if [B]I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family [E]tradition.
