Family Tradition |
but lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me. |
I guess its because I kind of changed my direction. |
Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition. |
They get on me and want to know: |
Hank, why do you drink? |
Why do you roll smoke? |
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? |
Over and over everybody makes my predictions. |
So if I get stoned, I’m just carrying on an old family tradition. |
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. |
Put yourself in my position. |
If I get stoned and sing all night long it’s a family tradition. |
So don’t ask me: |
Hank why do you drink? |
Hank, why do you roll smoke? |
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? |
If I’m down in a honky-tonk some ole slick’s trying to give me friction. |
I said leave me alone I’m singing all night long it’s a family tradition. |
Lord I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam and they both tried to kill me in 1973. |
When that doctor asked me, Son how did you get in this condition? |
I said, hey sawbones, I’m just carrying on an ole family tradition. |
So don’t ask me Hank why do you drink? |
Hank, why do roll smoke? |
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? |
Stop and think it over, try and put yourself in my unique position. |
If I get stoned and sing all night long, its a family tradition! |
