A 40 HP Johnson on a flat bottom metal boat
Coke cans and BB guns, barbed wire and old fence posts
8-point bucks in autumn and freshly cut cornfields
One arm out the window and one hand on the wheel
Some things just go better together and probably always will
Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise, Sunday drives and time to kill
What’s the point of this ol’ guitar if it ain’t got no strings?
Or pourin’ your heart into a song that you ain’t gonna sing?
It’s a match made up in heaven, like good ol’ boys and beer
And me, as long as you’re right here
Your license in my wallet when we go out downtown
Your lipstick’s stained every coffee cup that I got in this house
The way you say, “I love you, too” is like rain on an old tin roof
And your hand fits right into mine like a needle in a groove
Some things just go better together and probably always will
Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise, Sunday drives and time to kill
What’s the point of this ol’ guitar if it ain’t got no strings?
Or pourin’ your heart into a song that you ain’t gonna sing?
It’s a match made up in heaven, like good ol’ boys and beer
And me, as long as you’re right here
Sometimes we’re oil and water
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
And if I’m being honest, your first and my last name
Would just sound better together and probably always will
Like a cup of coffee and a sunrise, Sunday drives and time to kill
What’s the point of this ol’ guitar if it ain’t got no strings?
Or pourin’ your heart into a song that you ain’t gonna sing?
It’s a match made up in heaven, like good ol’ boys and beer
And me, as long as you’re right here
And me, as long as you’re right here
About Luke Combs
He was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and raised in Asheville, where he moved when he was eight years old. In his teenage years, he participated in football and vocal groups. During his college years at Appalachian State, the same school Eric Church attended, Combs decided to put his studies on hold so he could concentrate on country music. As he played shows regularly, he amassed a catalog of original songs. Despite being just a few credits away from earning his degree, he dropped out of college. In 2014, he moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music.
Career and Life
Combs self-released The Way She Rides EP in February 2014, followed by Can I Get an Outlaw in July. With the release of “Hurricane” in 2015, the singer was signed by River House/Columbia Nashville. A new EP, also titled This One’s for You, was released in November 2016 along with the reworked “Hurricane”. “Hurricane” entered the Country Airplay charts in November 2016, reaching number one in January 2017. Upon its release in June, Combs’ full-length debut, This One’s for You, debuted at number one on Billboard’s Country Albums chart. This One’s for You gained additional momentum in 2018 thanks in part to “One Number Away,” Combs’ third number one single, but also to the re-release of an expanded edition in June. “When It Rains It Pours,” the singer’s second number one on Country Airplay, kept it on the charts throughout the year. The revamped version of Combs’ debut, This One’s for You Too, included five new songs, including “She Got the Best of Me,” a number one Country Airplay single that helped the album reach the top of Billboard’s overall Top 200 Albums chart following its predecessors.
A ballad called “Beautiful Crazy” continued to help Combs gain momentum during the back half of 2018. After being an Internet sensation, the song became a radio hit in late 2018 and reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in March 2019; as a result of its success, Combs received a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2019 Grammy Awards. “Beautiful Crazy” spent seven consecutive weeks at number one on Country Airplay, breaking previous records. Additionally, Combs became the first artist to hold the top spot on all five of Billboard’s main country charts simultaneously: Top Country Albums, Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, Country Streaming Songs, and Country Digital Song Sales.
