[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Country music singers
Have always been a [G]real close family
But [A]lately some of my kinfolks
Have disowned a few others and [D]me
I guess it's because
I [G]kinda changed my direction
[A]Lord, I guess I went
and broke their family tra[D]dition

[Chorus 1]
They get on me and want to know, Hank
[D]Why do you drink?
Hank, [G]why do you roll smoke?
[A]Why must you live out
the songs that you [D]wrote?
Over and over
Every[G]body makes my prediction
So if [A]I get stoned, I'm just carrying on
An old family tra[D]dition

[Verse 2]
[D]I am very proud
[G]Of my daddy's name
[A]Although his kind of music
And mine ain't exactly the [D]same
Stop and think it over
Put your[G]self in my position
If [A]I get stoned and sing all night long
It's a family tra[D]dition

[Chorus 2]
So don't ask me, Hank
[D]Why do you drink?
Hank, [G]why do you roll smoke?
[A]Why must you live out
the songs that you [D]wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk
And some ole [G]slick's trying to give me friction
I'll say [A]leave me alone I'm singing all night long
It's a family tra[D]dition

[Verse 3]
Lordy, [D]I have loved some ladies
And [G]I have loved Jim Beam
And [A]they both tried to kill me in 197[D]3
When that doctor asked me
"Son, [G]how did you get in this condition?"
I said [A]"Hey, Sawbones I'm just carrying on
an old family tra[D]dition"

[Chorus 3]
So don't ask me, Hank
[D]Why do you drink?
Hank, [G]why do you roll smoke?
[A]Why must you live out
the songs that you [D]wrote?
Stop and think it over
Try to put your[G]self in my unique position
If [A]I get stoned and sing all night long
It's a family tra[D]dition
[D]
