# From: FAB6 USER Date: Friday, February 20, 1998 12:46 PM Subject: "Family Tradition" by Hank Williams Jr. FAMILY TRADITION Written and performed by Hank Williams Jr. From the album "Family Tradition" (NOTE: I believe Hank does this on the key of E on the album; I have to do it in D since my voice is a tad deeper... ;^) E A Country music singers have always been a real close family B7 E But lately some of my kinfolk have disowned a few others and me A I guess it's because I went and changed my position B7 E Lord, I guess I went and broke their family tradition C H O R U S (They yell, they wanna know: "Hank..") E A Why do you drink? Why do you roll smoke? B7 E Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? A Stop and think it over - try to put yourself in this position B7 E When I get stoned, I'm just carryin' on and 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 ---------------------------------------------- CHORUS 2 (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" ---------------------------------------------- Lead SOLO ---------------------------------------------- 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 a-carryin' on the old family tradition." ---------------------------------------------- CHORUS 3 (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 When I get stoned and sing all night long, it's just a family tradition.
