Karaoke Track: Family Tradition by Hank Williams, Jr. (Monster Hits)

Country music singers

Have always been
A real close family

But lately some
Of my kinfolks

Have disowned a
Few others and me

I guess it&#39;s because

I kinda changed
My direction

Lord, I guess

I went and broke
Their family tradition

Hank, why do you

Roll smoke

Why must you
Live out the songs
That you wrote

Over and over

Everybody mo kes
My predictions

So if I get stoned

I&#39;m just carryin&#39; on
An old family tradition

I am very proud of

My Daddy&#39;s no me

Althoug h his kind

Of music

And mine ain&#39;t
Exactly the same

Stop and ihink if over

Put yourself in
My position

If I get stoned and

Sing all night long
It&#39;s a family tradition

So don&#39;t ask me

Hank, why do ya drink

Hank, why do

You roll smoke

Why must you live out

The songs that
You wrote

If I&#39;m down in

A honky-fonk

Some 0 slicks iryin&#39;
To give me direction

I say leave me alone
I&#39;m singin&#39;

All nig hf long

It&#39;s a family tradition

(Instrumental Break)

Lordy, I have loved

Some ladies
And I have loved

Jim Beam

And they both fried

To kill me in 1973

When that doctor
Asked me

Son, how&#39;d ya get
In this condition

I said 0-hey
Saw bones

I&#39;m just carryin&#39; on
An old family frodfion

So don&#39;t ask me
Hank, why do ya drink

Hank, why do you
Roll smoke

Why must you live out

The songs
That you wrote

Stop and think

If over

Try to put yourself in
My unique position

If I get stoned and

Sing all night long
It&#39;s a family tradition
