(D)Country music singers have always been a (G)real close family   
But(A7) lately some of my kinfolk have disowned a few others and(G) me  
I guess it's because I kinda(D) changed my direction 
Lord,(A7)I guess I went and broke their family (G)tradition 
 
C H O R U S 
 
(They get on me, wanna know: 'Hank..') 
(G)Why do you drink? Hank(D)Why do you roll smoke? 
(A7)Why must you live out the songs that you(G) wrote? 
Over and over - everybody(D)made my prediction 
(A7)so if I get stoned, I'm just carryin' on an old family (G)tradition. 
 ----------------------------------------------- 
(G)I am very proud of my daddy's(D) name 
(A7)Although his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the(G) same 
Stop and think it over - A put yourself in my position 
(A7)If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family (G)tradition 
 ---------------------------------------------- 
CHORUS 2 
(Don't ask me: 'Hank...') 
(G)Why do you drink? Hank(D)Why do you roll smoke? 
(A7)Why must you live out the songs that you(G) wrote? 
If I'm down in a honky tonk, some ol(D) slick's tryin' to gimme friction 
I says(A7) 'Leave me alone, I'm singin' all night long  it's a family (G)tradition'

(G)Lordy, I have loved some ladies, and I have loved(D) Jim Bean 
(A7)They both tried to kill me in nineteen seventy-(G)three 
When that doctor asked me 'Son, how'dja get in this(D) condition?' 
I says(A7) 'Hey Sawbones, I'm just a-carryin' on the old family (G)tradition.'

(G)Why do you drink? Hank(D)Why do you roll smoke?

(A7)If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family (G)tradition.
