Put yourself in my position
And they both tried to kill me in 1973
Songwriter: Hank Jr Williams
The songs that you wrote?
Have always been a real close family
Some old slicks trying to give my friction
It's a family tradition
Stop and think it over
On an old family tradition
And broke their family tradition
An old family tradition"
I guess it's because
And mine ain't exactly the same
Country music singers
And Lord, I guess I went
Stop and think it over
If I get stoned and sing all night long
So if I get stoned I'm just carryin'
Try to put yourself in my unique position
So don't ask me
Why must you live out
"Son, how'd you get in this condition?"
If I get stoned and sing all night long
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Although his kind of music
Hank why do you roll smoke?
Everybody met my prediction
I am very proud
Why must you live out
Why must you live out
So don't ask me
Have disowned a few others and me
It's a family tradition
Over and over
It's a family tradition
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
When my doctor asked me
Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do you drink?
And I have loved Jim Beam
I kinda changed my direction
The songs that you wrote?
Lordy, I have loved some ladies
They get on me want to know
I say leave me alone I'm singin' all night long
Of my daddy's name

Hank, why do you drink?
But lately some of my kinfolk
The songs that you wrote?
I said "Hey sawbones, I'm just carryin' on
If I'm down in a honky tonk
