The lyrics of the new #LukeCombs song #EvenThoughImLeaving are heavy, to say the least. The circle-of-life ballad is a father's note to his son until the final chorus when the song turns. Songwriter Ray Fulcher says writing the #lyrics for new single was as moving as you'd expect. “The emotion was palpable in the room," Fulcher tells Taste of Country of "Even Though I'm Leaving," a song he wrote with Combs and Wyatt Durrette.

Luke Combs, "Even Though I'm Leaving" Song Lyrics:
(Luke Combs, Ray Fulcher, Wyatt Durrette)
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.
Chorus:
Before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said / Just ‘cause I’m leaving 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 leaving I ain’t going nowhere.
Dad, we’ll be late / And Uncle Sam don’t like to wait / He’s got a big ole plane that’s gonna take me far away / I know I act tough but there’s a churning in my gut / ‘Cause I just can’t call you up when things get rough / Before I left he hugged my neck and said.
Second Chorus:
Just ‘cause you’re leaving 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 leaving I ain’t going 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.
Third Chorus:
Before he went to bed he grabbed my hand and said / Just ‘cause I’m leaving 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 leaving I ain’t going nowhere.
