Kid Rock:
Hip-hop and counrty music singers
Have never really been that close of a family
But man ol' Hank Jr been awfully nice to me down here in Tennessee
And I guess its because I wanna change my direction
And I hope one day Hank that I will be a solid part of your family tradtion
Hank Jr (Kid Rock):
Why do you drink?
(To get drunk)
Why do you roll smoke?
(To get stoned)
Why musy you wake up counrty and then you turn into rock and roll?
(To get paid)
Over and over
Everybody makes our prediction
If we get stoned and sing some new hit songs,
Thats a real family tradition
Kid Rock:
Now lordy I have loved some ladies
I still love Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill me
I think they both tried to kill down there with you in Tennessee
When that doctor asked me
Said ol'Rock, now how'd you get in this condition?
I said I been with Hank down in Tennessee
Learning some of that family tradition
Hank Jr (Kid Rock):
Why do you drink?
(To get drunk)
Why do you roll smoke?
(To get stoned)
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
(To be like you)
If I'm down in a honky-tonk
Somebodies gonna give us friction
I said leave us alone
We're singing all night long
Its an ol'family tradition
Hank Jr:
You know I am very proud
Of my daddy's name
Although his kind of gold and platinum
And ours is not really the same
Stop and think it over
Put yourself in my unique position
I get stoned, we start singing you some movie soundtrack songs
Thats the real family tradition
Kid Rock (Hank Jr):
Ask me Hank
Why do you drink?
(It's fun)
Why do you roll smoke?
(Inspiration)
Why must you live out all them songs that you wrote?
(To get cheerleaders)
If I'm down in that honky-tonk
And ol'Slick's tryin to give me friction
I say Hey, leave me alone
Cause that's a family tradtion
Hank Jr:
Well when i get stoned and sing all night long
I might wanna sing a little rebel-rouser song
I might wanna sing a little Kid Rock's goin on
If they don't like Hank Williams
If they don't like Cousin Kracker
If they don't like Mr. Rock
They can kiss our ass
