I mean we were just kids that hung out at the Tin Roof on Demonbreun every Tuesday night, we hung out at Loser\u2019s every Monday, wherever there was a writer\u2019s night every night of the week,\u201d Combs said in a recent interview, \u201cthat\u2019s what we did every night of the week. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe met each other there, we booked our first co-writes with each other there, and I think that relationship makes it so easy to want to constantly be writing songs, because now I don\u2019t have the opportunity to hang out with the people that I enjoy hanging out with as much as I used to. And I think when you can have a genuine friendship with somebody \u2014 and I\u2019ve got probably 10 co-writers that I would probably take a bullet for tomorrow \u2014 that are just genuinely good friends of mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\" id=\"727387f1\">\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;img&quot;}\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/GettyImages-1187504772-1573748752.jpg?quality=0.85&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/GettyImages-1187504772-1573748752.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=481 481w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/GettyImages-1187504772-1573748752.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=660 660w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/GettyImages-1187504772-1573748752.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=768 768w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/GettyImages-1187504772-1573748752.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=980 980w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/GettyImages-1187504772-1573748752.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1200 1200w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/GettyImages-1187504772-1573748752.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1500 1500w, http:\/\/cmt.mtvnimages.com\/uri\/mgid:file:http:shared:cmt.com\/news\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/GettyImages-1187504772-1573748752.jpg?quality=0.8&amp;format=jpg&amp;width=1800 1800w\" title=\"The 53rd Annual CMA Awards - Backstage\" class=\" js-srcset-img shortcode-image \" alt><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Combs added that being able to write songs with true friends and hang out with them is something he hopes he never has to give up. \u201cIt feels like we\u2019re doing something that\u2019s really special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And it doesn\u2019t sound like his deep well of song ideas will run dry any time soon, either. \u201cI don\u2019t think you can ever have too many songs. It\u2019s like having too much gas in your gas tank. Eventually it just spills out and you just put it in the tank until you need it,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have to go, \u2019Man, there\u2019s a new album deadline that\u2019s coming up and I don\u2019t have any good songs.\u2019 It\u2019s just very comforting to have them sitting there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Combs\u2019 manager Chris Kappy told <a href=\"http:\/\/adrinkwith.com\/kappy\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">A Drink With<\/a> the story of the first time he saw him play a show in Georgia and only 83 people showed up. But Kappy just knew there was something there, and made it out to two more of Combs\u2019 Georgia shows. \u201cThe third time Luke came to play in Georgia, I went up and told him, \u2019Hey man, I have never been a manager before, I don\u2019t know anything about it.\u2019 But I told him, \u2019I do know this. I will work super hard for you. I know that my job is to get people in the door, but it is your job, as the artist, to get them to stay.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe talked to three other managers in Nashville and then he called me up on July 29, 2015 and he said, \u2019Hey man, what do you want me to do? Where do you see me?\u2019 I flat out told him, \u2019Luke, I want you to get on stage every night and I want you to sing your face off.\u2019 And he said, \u2019Good. Because every other manager I met with in Nashville told me I was a really good songwriter, but I wasn\u2019t an artist.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew Luke was an artist from the first note, and sometimes you have to see past what \u2018the norm\u2019 is and go rogue\u2026 outlaw, some would say. It was a gamble that paid off for both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\"> Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0AfL-J_AfJU?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0AfL-J_AfJU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\t<\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\"> Alison makes her living loving country music.
