Family Tradition

In the style of

Hank Williams, Jr.

Lyrics

country music
singers
have always been a
real close family

but lately some of
my kinfolks
have disowned
a few others and me

i guess it's because
i kinda
changed my direction
lord i guess
i went and broke their
family tradition

they get on me and
wanna know hank
why do ya drink
hank why do
you roll smoke
why must you live out
the songs that
you wrote

over and over
everybody makes
my predictions
so if i get stoned
i'm just carryin' on
an old
family tradition

i am very proud
of my daddy's name
although his
kinda music
and mine ain't exactly
the same

stop and think it over
put yourself in
my position
if i get stoned and sing
all night long
it's a
family tradition

so don't ask me hank
why do ya drink
hank why do you
roll smoke
why must you live out
the songs that
you wrote

if i'm down in
a honky-tonk
some ol' slick's
tryin' to
give me friction

i say leave me alone
i'm singin'
all night long
it's a
family tradition

woh

lordy i have loved
some ladies
and i have loved
jim beam
and they both tried
to kill me in 1973

when that doctor
asked me
son how'd ya get in
this condition
i said a-hey sawbones
i'm just carryin' on
an old
family tradition

so don't ask me
hank why do ya drink
hank why do you
roll smoke
why must you live out
the songs that
you wrote

stop and think it over
try to put yourself in
my unique position
if i get stoned and sing
all night long it's a
family tradition
