Family Tradition – Hank Williams Jr.
E Country music singers have always been a A real close family
But B7 lately some of my kinfolk have disowned a few others and E me
I guess it's because I kinda A changed my direction
Lord, B7 I guess I went and broke their family E tradition
C H O R U S
They get on me, wanna know: "Hank.."
E Why do you drink? Hank A Why do you roll smoke?
B7 Why must you live out the songs that you E wrote?
Over and over - everybody A made my prediction
B7 so if I get stoned, I'm just carryin' on and old family E tradition.
-----------------------------------------------
E I am very proud of my daddy's A name
B7 Although his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the E same
Stop and think it over - A put yourself in my position
B7 If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family E tradition
----------------------------------------------
CHORUS 2
Don't ask me: "Hank..."
E Why do you drink? Hank A Why do you roll smoke?
B7 Why must you live out the songs that you E wrote?
If I'm down in a honky tonk, some ol A slick's tryin' to gimme friction
I says B7 "Leave me alone, I'm singin' all night long it's a family E tradition"
----------------------------------------------
Lead SOLO
----------------------------------------------
E Lordy, I have loved some ladies, and I have loved A Jim Bean
B7 They both tried to kill me in nineteen seventy- E three
When that doctor asked me "Son, how'dja get in this A condition?"
I says B7 "Hey Sawbones, I'm just a-carryin' on the old family E tradition."
----------------------------------------------
CHORUS 3
So don't ask me: "Hank..."
E Why do you drink? Hank A Why do you roll smoke?
B7 Why must you live out the songs that you E wrote?
Stop and think it over - try to put yourself in my unique A position
B7 If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family E tradition.
