Country music legend Luke Combs and his wife Nicole Combs announced Monday they are expecting a second child together. The couple shared the news via their Instagram accounts, where Combs and his wife can be seen with their first son, Tex Lawrence, who is wearing a shirt that says “Big Brother.” The caption on the photo reads, “Joining the 2 under 2 club! Baby boy #2 coming this September.”
The post also contains audio of an upcoming song Combs is set to release on Friday, March 24, called “Take You With Me.”
Based on the lyrics in the Instagram post, the theme of this new song appears to be about parenting. Combs sings, “Got a young’in of my own, he’s too young to understand it. When he gets a little older, watching the stage where I’m standing.
He’ll know it’s about him, when he hears me sing I’ll take you with me.” Combs also released the song “5 Leaf Clover” off the upcoming album which has quickly become a fan-favorite. Country Now wrote about the new single:
The new tune finds Combs stretching the bounds of his stunning vocals while pondering over all the luck he’s been experiencing lately. For him, that success is not measured by how much money he makes or the amount of fame he gains, but instead he considers himself lucky if he has “a fridge full of cold beer” and folks that “still got a bunch of good years.”
Combs said about this new fan-favorite in an interview, “A while back my buddy Newdy and I were looking around the clover plot at my house for 4 leaf clovers. I eventually found one, but shortly thereafter, he found a 5 leaf clover and I thought to myself, ‘Man, how lucky do you have to be to find a 5 leaf clover?’ Didn’t think too much of it at the time but wrote that down as a title in my phone.”
He continued, “A few weeks later, I was writing with Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill and it came up. It still wasn’t really anything that jumped off the page to me, but I shared the idea and guitar melody I had with them and they loved it. We ended up writing the song that day,” Combs continued. “I eventually started playing it at shows and posting a video of the song, and y’all quickly let me know it was one I had to record; that’s why I’m super pumped for y’all to finally hear it!”
The lyrics from “5 Leaf Clover” indicate how grateful he his for all his success in life, however, he can’t figure out why he deserves it.

The lyrics state, “I know I’m a lucky man / But I ain’t sure why I am / ‘Cause it ain’t like anyone deserves / The world in the palm of their hand,” he delivers in the chorus. “I’ve hit my knees thankful as can be / But the one thing I can’t get over / Is how’d a guy like me who’d a been fine with three / Wind up with five leaf clover?”
