Luke Combs<\/strong>‘ 2023 cover of Tracy Chapman<\/strong>‘s 1998 hit “Fast Car” was a smash \u2014 but it turns out that Luke’s version contains an incorrect lyric. How did he find out? Chapman called him out on it, much to his embarrassment.<\/p>\n

A fan who attended Luke’s recent concert captured him on video telling the story: In his version, he sings “Still gotta make a decision\/ Leave tonight or live and die this way.” But he says when he talked to Tracy, she told him that the lyric is actually “We gotta make a decision.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the first time that I knew that I recorded the song incorrectly,\u201d he told the crowd. \u201cIt was her who told me that. Because I remember, when she said that, I wanted to crawl in a hole.”<\/p>\n

“And luckily, she was awesome about it. And I think about it every single time that I sing the song, and I will think about it every single time I sing this song for the rest of my whole life,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut she was so cool about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then announced that he was going to sing the correct version, “Because Tracy Chapman told me to, and dammit, I\u2019m gonna do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke’s version of “Fast Car” reached #2 on the Billboard<\/em> Hot 100. It also topped Billboard’s<\/em> Country Airplay chart, making Tracy the first Black woman ever to write a #1 country hit solo.<\/p>\n

Luke and Tracy performed the song together\u00a0at the Grammy Awards in February.<\/p>\n
