Comments(Acoustic) (Almeria) Hank Williams Jr.: After Daddy became a huge star he decided to record recitations under the name “Luke the Drifter” so not to confuse the public. Like Dad, I decided to use another name when I sing the blues (which I love so much). Meet “Thunderhead Hawkins”.

    Lyrics »

Well you know you get the hots for some gal, you just can't stop
Makln' love six times a day better than pork chop
‘Cause ones' good as the other and you know what I mean
Some of them like a little bit fat
Some of them like that meat just a little but lean
I like gravy on the side with hot and juicy lovin'
Brown sugar on top, sausage warm out of the oven
Sometimes you get to eatin' Lord and you just can't stop
Make me wonder to myself
Why oh why...why did I leave that last pork chop
Well I met this fine gal in the choir, she sure could sing
She said come down to my house
I’m gonna give you ham hocks and beans
We devoured each other Lord, her kitchen was smokin’ hot
I had to jump up and open a window and I thought to myself
Why did I leave that last pork chop
I have been on a very strict diet of beer and scotch and love
I was offered lunch break specials but now I’m a fool for her
She'd been serving that pie while I was gone punhhin' the clock
I thought about that waitress down at Maxine's and I said to myself
Why did I leave that last pork chop

Comments(Almeria) Hank Williams Jr.: While recording my tribute song to famous Kansas City Chiefs linebacker, Derrick Thomas and friend Mike Tellis, I remembered the time they took me to a little cafe that served bug appetites - Maxine’s. You know, hard work makes anybody hungry and recording at the Greater Pentecostal Temple in Kansas City all day was hard, so I invited my co-producer, Chuck Howard, and crew to Maxine’s. Man! Talk about smacking your lips - those were the best pork chops I had ever eaten...They melted in your mouth. I ate two, Chuck Howard only ate one, and while driving back to the hotel, Chuck quietly said “Man, why did I leave that last pork chop”. Bingo! I went to my room and wrote “Last Pork Chop”. Thanks Chuck and Maxine.
