O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00	I know I'm gonna get shit for posting this... Family Tradition Country music singers have been a real close family, but lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me. I guess its 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? 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 all though 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 its 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 1973. 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 and put yourself in my unique position. If I get stoned and sing all night long, its a family tradition! I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant. <IGNORANCE IS TYPICAL

Here's one from them that kind of goes with your song: Long Haired Country Boy People say I'm no good and crazy as a loon Cause I get stoned in the mornin, get drunk in the afternoon Kinda like my ole blue tick hound I like to lay around in the shade I ain't got no money but I've dang sure got it made Chorus And I ain't askin' nobody for nothing If I can't get it on my own If you don't like the way I'm livin' You just leave this long haired country boy alone Poor girl wants to marry and the rich girl wants to flirt Rich man goes to college and the poor man goes to work Drunkard wants another drink of wine and the politician wants a vote I don't want much of nothing at all but I will take another toke Repeat Chorus Preacher man talkin' on the TV, Puttin' down the rock and roll Wants me to give a donation cause he's worried about my soul He said Jesus walked on the water and I know that it's true But sometimes I think that old preacher man'd like to do a little walkin' too Repeat Chorus Question: Does anybody know the hair metal band that covered this song?
