Family Tradition
Hank Williams, Jr.
Country music singers have always been a real close family
But lately, some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me
I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction
Lord, I guess I went and broke their family tradition
They get on me and want to know, "Hank why do you drink?"
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Over and over everybody makes my predictions
So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition
I am very proud of my daddy's name
Although his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same
Stop and think it over, put yourself in my position
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition
So don't ask me, "Hank, why do you drink?"
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ole slick's trying to give me friction
I said leave me alone, I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition
Lord, I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill me in nineteen-seventy-three
When that doctor asked me, "Son, how did you get in this condition?"
I said, "Hey sawbones, I'm just carrying on an ole family tradition"
So don't ask me, "Hank, why do you drink?"
Hank, why do roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over, try to put yourself in my unique position
If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family tradition
Country music singers have always been a real close family
Les chanteurs country ont toujours été une famille très proche
But lately, some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me
Mais ces temps-ci, mes proches m'ont désavoué, avec quelques autres aussi
I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction
Je suppose que c'est parce que j'ai un peu changé de direction
Lord, I guess I went and broke their family tradition
Seigneur, je suppose que j'suis allé briser leur tradition familiale
They get on me and want to know, "Hank why do you drink?"
Ils se jettent tous sur moi en me demandant "Hank, pourquoi bois-tu?"
Hank, why do you roll smoke?
"Hank, pourquoi roules-tu à fumer?"
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Pourquoi dois-tu aller vivre toutes les chansons que t'as écrit?
Over and over everybody makes my predictions
Encore et encore, tout le monde prédit mon avenir
So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition
Donc, si je me défonce un peu, j'fais que suivre la vieille tradition de famille
I am very proud of my daddy's name
J'suis très fier du nom d'mon papa
Although his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same
Pourtant que son genre de musique et le mien ne sont pas exactement pareils

Arrête-toi pour y penser un peu, mets-toi à ma place
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition
Si j'me défonce et que je passe la nuit à chanter, c'est une tradition de famille
