Best Country Drinking Songs:
No. 24

'Family Tradition'
--Hank Williams, Jr. (1979)

Cheers-worthy lines: "Why do you drink? Why do you roll smoke? Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?"

Fans love to call out the answers to those three questions during live performances of this song. The first answer: "To get drunk!" The second: "To get stoned!" The third: "To get laid!"

To me this is a feel good song. Hank Jr. has outlasted many others and newcomers with this song. We all want to hear it when we are drinking.

what about the chairman of the board? How about the song Dringing Again? Or FRANK SINATRA One for my Baby and one more for the Road? He was the best ever and as for country i like it but you people all sound the same. Now take Frank he was an icon, a storyteller, a romantic when he sang he got it right in the heart. He was enormosly talanted and, no one will be close or better ever. His music will live on with many singers with half a****** voices So you people of music think about what you say because some of it is dumbbbbbbbb sO MANY MORE SONGS HE WAS A KING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
