Hank Williams - Family Tradition Lyrics

Send "Family Tradition" ringtone to your cell

Country music singers have been a real close family

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

I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction

Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition

They get on me and want to know

Hank why do you drink? 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 carrying on an old family tradition

I am very proud of my daddy's name

All though his kind of 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 you 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 trying to give me friction

I said "Leave me alone I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition"

Lord 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 did you get in this condition?"

I said "Hey sawbones I'm just carrying on an ol' family tradition"

So don't ask me Hank why do you drink? Hank why do you roll smoke?

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?

Stop and think it over try and put yourself in my unique position

If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition
