AC Tradition - the song

[Spanky]

AC workin counselors have always been a real close family
But lately some of my kinfolk have disowned a few others and me
I guess it's because I kinda changed my direction
Lord, I guess I went and broke their AC tradition
They get on me want to know

Spanky why do you drink?
Spanky why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Over and over everybody met my prediction
So if I get stoned I'm just carryin' on an old AC tradition

I am very proud of my programs name
Although their kind of program 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 AC tradition
Don't ask me

Spanky why do you drink?
Spanky why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky tonk some old slicks trying to give my friction
I say leave me alone I'm singin' all night long it's a AC tradition

Lordy, I have loved some ladies and I have loved Jim Beam
And they both tried to kill me in two thousand and three
And when my doctor asked me
"Son, how'd you get in this condition?"
I said "Hey sawbones, I'm just carryin' on an old AC tradition."
So don't ask me

Spanky why do you drink?
Spanky why do you 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 AC tradition
