E Country music singers, A Have always been a real close family, B But Lately some of my kinfolk, E Have disowned a few others and me, A I guess it's because, I kinda changed my direction, B E Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition, They get on me and wanna' know Hank, [Chorus] E Why do ya drink?, A Hank why do you roll smoke?, B E And why must you live out the songs that you wrote?, A Over and over every body met my prediction, B E If I get stoned I'm just carrying on an old family tradition [Verse 2] E A I am very proud, of my daddy's name, B E Although his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same, A Stop and think it over, put yourself in my position, B E If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition, So don't ask me Hank, [Chorus] E Why do ya drink?, A Hank why do you roll smoke?, B E And why must you live out the songs that you wrote?, A Over and over every body met my prediction, B E If I get stoned I'm just carrying on an old family tradition [Verse 3] A Lordy I have loved some ladies, and I have loved Jim Beam, B E And they both tried to kill me, in 1973, A When that doctor asked me, son how'd ya get in this position?, B E I said a hey sawbones I'm just a carrying on and ol' family tradition, So don't ask me Hank, [Chorus] E Why do ya drink?, A Hank why do you roll smoke?, B E And why must you live out the songs that you wrote?, A Over and over every body met my prediction, B E If I get stoned I'm just carrying on an old family tradition
