Karaoke Track: Family Tradition by Hank Williams, Jr. (Idol Makers)

Country music singers
have always been
a real close family

But lately some of my
kinfolk have disowned
a few others and me

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

And lord I guess I went and
broke their family tradition

They get on me and
wanna know
Hank why do you drink

Hank why do you roll smoke
Why must you live out the

songs that you wrote

Over and over, everybody
made my prediciton

lfl get stoned and sing
all night long
It&#39;s a family tradition

Well I am very proud of my
daddy&#39;s name

Although his kind of music
and mine ain&#39;t exactly
the same

But when I&#39;m down in a
honky tonk some old slick&#39;s
tryin to give me correction

But when I&#39;m down in a
honky tonk some old slick&#39;s
tryin to give me correction

I say leave me alone I&#39;m
singin&#39; all night long
It&#39;s a family tradition

So don&#39;t ask me
Hank why do you drink

Hank why do you roll smoke

Why must you live out
the songs that you wrote

And stop and think it over
Try to put yourself in my
unique position

Ifl get stoned and
sing all night long

It&#39;s a family tradition

Lordy l have loved some
ladies

and l have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill
me in room 273

But when that doctor asked
me
Lordy I have loved some
ladies
and I have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill
me in room 273

But when that doctor asked
me

Son how&#39;d you get in this
condition

I said hey sawbones
I&#39;m just carryin&#39; on
and old family tradition
So don&#39;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 to put yourself in my
unique position

lfl get stoned and

sing all night long
It&#39;s a family tradition
