excerpts from "McCain-Palin Tradition" by Hank Jr.

...Now this old Union's got problems That is plain to see

The Democrats bankrupted Fannie Mae N Freddie Mac Just like 1, 2, 3

The bankers didn't want to make all those bad loans, But Bill Clinton said you got to

Now they want a bail out, what I'm talking about Is a Democrat liberal who doo

John N Sarah tell ya Just what they think

And they're not gonna blink They don't have terrorist friends To whom their careers are linked

Yes, John is his own man And Sarah fixed Alaska's broken condition

They're gonna go just fine We're headed for better times

It's a McCain - Palin tradition

...They all want to know Sarah /Why do you hunt / John why do you fish

How could she be so smart and savvy / such a "hey good-lookin" dish

Yes John is his own man / And Sarah fixed Alaska's bad condition

They're going to get it right / We're going to see the light

It's a McCain - Palin tradition


excerpts from "Family Tradition" by Hank Jr.

...Country music singers have always been a real close family

but lately some of my kin folks have disowned a few others and me

i guess its because i kinda changed my direction

i guess i went and broke the family tradition

they get on me wanna 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 made my prediction

so if i get stoned I'm just carryin' on an old family tradition

...Lordy, 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 carryin on an old family tradition!
