1
Country music singers
2
Have always been a real close family
3
But lately some of my kinfolk
4
Have disowned a few others and me
5
I guess it's because
6
I kinda changed my direction
7
And Lord, I guess I went
8
And broke their family tradition
9
They get on me want to know
10
Hank, why do you drink?
11
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
12
Why must you live out
13
The songs that you wrote?
14
Over and over
15
Everybody met my prediction
16
So if I get stoned I'm just carryin'
17
On an old family tradition
18
I am very proud
19
Of my daddy's name
20
Although his kind of music
21
And mine ain't exactly the same
22
Stop and think it over
23
Put yourself in my position
24
If I get stoned and sing all night long
25
It's a family tradition
26
So don't ask me
27
Hank, why do you drink?
28
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
29
Why must you live out
30
The songs that you wrote?
31
If I'm down in a honky tonk
32
Some old slicks trying to give my friction
33
I say leave me alone I'm singin' all night long
34
It's a family tradition
35
Lordy, I have loved some ladies
36
And I have loved Jim Beam
37
And they both tried to kill me in 1973
38
When my doctor asked me
39
"Son, how'd you get in this condition?"
40
I said "Hey sawbones, I'm just carryin' on
41
An old family tradition"
42
So don't ask me
43
Hank, why do you drink?
44
Hank why do you roll smoke?
45
Why must you live out
46
The songs that you wrote?
47
Stop and think it over
48
Try to put yourself in my unique position
49
If I get stoned and sing all night long
50
It's a family tradition
