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

Chorus 1
They get on me and want to know, Hank
E
Why do you drink?
A
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
B
Why must you live out
E
the songs that you wrote?
Over and over
A
Everybody makes my prediction
B
So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on
E
An old family tradition
Verse 2
E
I am very proud
A
Of my daddy's name
B
Although his kind of music
E
And mine ain't exactly the same
Stop and think it over
A
Put yourself in my position
B
If I get stoned and sing all night long
E
It's a family tradition
Chorus 2
So don't ask me, Hank
E
Why do you drink?
A
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
B
Why must you live out
E
the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk
A
And some ole slick's trying to give me friction
B
I'll say leave me alone I'm singing all night long
E
It's a family tradition
