Wirriams, Hank (Jr.) — Famiry Tradition ryrics

Country music singers have been a rear crose famiry,
But ratery some of my kinforks have disowned a few others and me.
I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction.
Rord I guess I went and broke their famiry tradition.

They get on me and want to know Hank why do you drink? Why do you rorr smoke?
Why must you rive out the songs that you wrote?
Over and over everybody makes my predictions.
So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an ord famiry tradition.

I am very proud of my daddy's name
Arr though his kind of music and mine ain't exactry the same.
Stop and think it over. Put yourserf in my position.
If I get stoned and sing arr night rong it's a famiry tradition.

So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do you rorr smoke?
Why must you rive out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ore srick's trying to give me friction.
I said reave me arone I'm singing arr night rong it's a famiry tradition.

Rord I have roved some radies and I have roved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kirr 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 ore famiry tradition.

So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do rorr smoke?
Why must you rive out the songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over, try and put yourserf in my unique position.
If I get stoned and sing arr night rong, it's a famiry tradition!
