Last year was quite a year for River House Artists/Columbia Nashville singer-songwriter Luke Combs, who earned two chart topping hits, “Hurricane” and “When It Rains it Pours.” Picking up right where 2017 left off, Combs started 2018 by releasing his third single “One Number Away“ from his debut album This One’s For You.
“One Number Away” goes back to the emotional feel of the song “Hurricane” as opposed to the fun, sassy lyrics of “When It Rains It Pours.” Combs gives the same stellar performance as he did with “Hurricane” with perhaps a little more emotive grit.
Well, if you’re anything like me
You just might be doing whatever it takes to drown out the noise
But I just wanna hear your voice
And I’m one number away from calling to you
I said I was through, but I’m dying inside
Got my head in a mess, girl, I confess
I lied when I said, “I’m leaving and not coming back”
Might be the whiskey or the midnight rain
But everywhere I go, I see your face
In my brain, dial it up, everything I want to say
But I’m still one number away
Written by Combs along with songwriters Sammy Mitchell, Steven Andre Battey, Carlos Battey and Robert Williford, “One Number Away” has become one of his favorite songs on the album.
