Tearing a page straight out of the John Rich play book, Hank Williams Jr. is throwing his support behind the Republican ticket with his new single “McCain-Palin Tradition,” in which he revisits one of his old country hits, “Family Tradition,” but with different lyrics this time. We wish we were kidding, but you’ll just have to listen for yourselves (and try to ignore the loud guy talking at the beginning). We’ve even done our best to type up the lyrics for you guys. Originally performed for both McCain and Palin themselves in Richmond, Virginia, we fully expect this one to be making the morning show rounds in the coming weeks.

Hank Williams, Jr. – McCain-Palin Tradition
The left-wing liberal media
Have always been a real close-knit family
But most of the American people
Don’t believe ‘em anyway, you see
Stop and think it over
Before you make your decision
If they smell something wrong
They’re gonna come down strong
It’s a McCain-Palin tradition
Now this old union’s got problems
That is plain to see
The Democrats bankrupted Freddie Mac
And Fannie Mae just like one, two three
The bankers didn’t wanna make all those bad loans
But Bill Clinton said, “You got to!”
Now they wanna bail out what I’m talkin’ about
As a Democrat liberal hoo-doo! (To me and you)
John and Sarah tell you 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
We’re gonna do just fine, we’re headed for better times
It’s a McCain-Palin tradition
I am very proud of our country’s name
But no society is perfect
We have had our stains
If I’m down at the coffee shop
And somebody starts to give our flag friction
We say please move on
We are standing strong
That’s an old John McCain tradition
Yeah, John and Sarah tell you just what they think
And they’re not gonna blink
They’re gonna fix this country
Cause they’re just like you and ol’ Hank
Yeah, John is a maverick
And Sarah fixed Alaska’s broken condition
We’re gonna do just fine
We’re headed for better times
It’s a McCain-Palin tradition
Now some are bound to tell you
I’m preachin’ to the choir
And that is very true
And we are going even higher
Like a mama bear in Idaho
She’ll protect your family’s condition
If you mess with her cubs
She’s gonna take off the gloves
It’s an American female tradition
Y’all wanna know, Sarah, why do you hunt?
John, why do you fish?
How can she be so smart and savvy
And such a hey-good-lookin’ [dish?]?
Yes, John is his own man
And Sarah fixed Alaska’s bad condition
They’re gonna get it right, we’re gonna see the light
It’s a McCain-Palin tradition
