| @KMIDI KARAOKE FILE@LENGL@TFamily Tradition (Hank Williams Jr)@TSeq UnknownKar by John
Country music singers
have always been a real close family
But lately some of my kinfolk
have disowned a few others and me
I guess it's because
I went and changed my position
Lord, I guess I went and broke
their family tradition
They yell, they wanna know:
"Hank.." Why do you drink?
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 this position
When I get stoned,
I'm just carryin' on
an old family tradition
Now I am very proud
of my daddy's name
Although his kind of music
and mine ain't exactly the same
Stop and think it over
try to put yourself in my position
When I get stoned
and sing all night long it's just a
family tradition
Don't ask me: "Hank..."
Why do you drink?
Why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live
out them songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky tonk,
and some ole slick's tryin' to
gimme some friction
I says "Leave me alone,
I'm stayin' all night long 'cause it's a
family tradition"
"INSTRUMENTAL"
Lordy, I have loved some ladies,
and I still love Jim Beam
They both tried to kill me
in nineteen seventy - three
When that doctor asks me
"Son, how'dja get in this condition?"
I says "Hey Sawbones,
I'm just acarryin' on
the old family tradition."
So don't ask me: "Hank..."
Why do you drink?
Why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live
out them songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over
try to put yourself in my unique position
