Jason Boland - Family Tradition

E A

Country music singers always been a real close family

B7 E

But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me

A

And I guess it's because, I kinda changed my direction

B7 E

Lord, I guess I went and broke their Family Tradition

Chorus:

So they wanna know Hank

E F G/F# G

Why do you drink? (Get Drunk)

A

Why do you roll smoke? (Get Stoned)

B7 E

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? (Get Laid)

A

Stop and think it over, put yourself in my position

B7 E

If I get stoned, sing all night long, it’s a Family Tradition.

E A

Lord I am very proud, of my daddy's name

B7 E

Although his kind of music, and mine ain't exactly the same

A

If I'm down in a honky-tonk, and some ol slicks tryin' to gimme some

friction

B7 E

Say leave me alone singin’ all night long it's a Family Tradition

Chorus2:

Still they all wanna know Hank

E F G/F# G

Why do you drink? (Get Drunk)

A

Why do you roll smoke? (Get Stoned)

B7 E

Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? (Get Laid)

A

Stop and think it over, put yourself in my unique position

B7 E

If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's just a Family Tradition.

E A

I have loved some ladies, and I have love Jim Beam

B7 E

And they both tried to kill me, back in nineteen seventy-three

A

When that doctor asks me, "Son, how'd ya get in this condition?"

B7 E

I say "Hey Sawbone, I'm just carryin' on an old Family Tradition."

Chorus:3

So they wanna know Hank

E F G/F# G

Why do you drink? (Get Drunk)

A

Why do you roll smoke? (Get Stoned)

B7 E

Stop and think it over, put yourself in my position

B7 E

If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's just a Family Tradition.
