Family Tradition 
Written and recorded by Hank Williams Jr.

C F
Country music singers have always been a real close family
G7 C
But lately some of my kinfolk have disowned a few others and me
F
I guess it's because I kinda' changed my direction
G7 C
Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition


They get on me and wanna' know Hank
F
Why do ya drink Hank why do you roll smoke
G7 C
And why must you live out the songs that you wrote
F
Over and over everybody met my prediction
G7 C
So if I get stoned I'm just carrying on an old family tradition

F
I am very proud of my daddy's name
G7 C
Although his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same
F
Stop and think it over put yourself in my position
G7 C
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition

F
Don't ask me Hank why do you drink Hank why do you roll smoke
G7 C
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote
F
If I'm down in a honky tonk some ol' slick tries to give me friction
G7
I'll say leave me alone I'm singin' all night long
C
It's a family tradition

F
Lordy I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam
G7 C
And they both tried to kill me in 1973
F
When that doctor asked me son how'd ya get in this condition
G7 C
I said a hey sawbones I'm just a carrying on and ol' family tradition

F
Don't ask me Hank why do ya drink Hank why do you roll smoke
G7 C
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote
F
Stop and think it over try to put yourself in my unique position
G7 C
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition
