Luke Combs Drops Emotional New Song Every Military Family Can Relate To {VIDEO}

Luke Combs powerful new song will make you grab some tissues.

The song starts with lyrics asking a father to not leave his son behind. At first, he’s a young kid, worried about monsters under the bed. Later, he’s shipping out to serve his country overseas. And finally, he’s there as his father prepares to pass on.

Luke and his two fellow songwriters wrote this more than three years ago before he released any of his six No. 1 hits.

 

Lyrics:
Daddy, I’m afraid, won’t you stay a little while?
Keep me safe ’cause there’s monsters right outside
Daddy, please don’t go, I don’t wanna be alone
‘Cause the second that you’re gone they’re gonna know
Before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said

Just ’cause I’m leavin’
It don’t mean that I won’t be right by your side
When you need me
And you can’t see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It’s okay, I know you’re scared when I’m not here
But I’ll always be right there

Even though I’m leavin’, I ain’t goin’ nowhere
Dad, we’ll be late, and Uncle Sam don’t like to wait
He’s got a big old plane that’s gonna take me far away
I know I act tough, but there’s a churnin’ in my gut
‘Cause I just can’t call you up when things get rough
Before I left, he hugged my neck and said

Just ’cause you’re leavin’
It don’t mean that I won’t be right by your side
When you need me
And you can’t see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It’s okay, I know you’re scared, I might be here
But I’ll always be right there

Even though you’re leavin’, I ain’t goin’ nowhere
Daddy, I’m afraid, won’t you stay a little while?
I never thought I’d see the day I had to say goodbye
Daddy, please don’t go, I can’t do this on my own
There’s no way that I can walk this road alone
Daddy grabbed my hand and said

Just ’cause I’m leavin’
It don’t mean that I won’t be right by your side
When you need me
And you can’t see me in the middle of the night
Just close your eyes and say a prayer
It’s okay, boy, I ain’t scared
I won’t be here, but I’ll always be right there
Even though I’m leavin’, I ain’t goin’ nowhere
I ain’t goin’ nowhere
