2018 CMA Awards ‘New Artist of the Year’ winner Luke Combs shared a story about heartbreak during his performance of “She Got The Best of Me.”
“Last night, I wasn’t expecting to come home with any hardware. Everybody had been asking me all week, ‘Have you written an acceptance speech?’ And my answer was, ‘No.’ I never want to believe I’m going to win anything. I really wanted to be able to go up there and speak from the heart. It may have been goofy, but I’ll tell you what – it’s what I felt in that moment and that moment will stick with me forever. This dream always seemed a little bit crazy to everybody but nobody ever told me that, and for that, I’m really thankful,” the star shared via Instagram after his big win.
“She Got The Best of Me” Lyrics
Seventeen, you don’t think that much about life
You just live it
Like Kerosene dancin’ ’round a fire
But you’re in it
So you jump right in
Ain’t afraid to fall
And you give it all
She got the best of me
She broke my heart
Now all that’s left of me
Is beating in this guitar
Every night, a different town
She follows me around
So you get what’s left of me
Yeah, you get what’s left of me
‘Cause she got the best of me
I picked myself up off the floor
And found something new worth livin’ for
And a, old dusty hand-me-down six string
And a couple chords
I’m gettin’ over her
A little more with every song
So y’all sing along
She got the best of me
She broke my heart
Now all that’s left of me
Is beating in this guitar
Every night, a different town
She follows me around
So you get what’s left of me
Yeah, you get what’s left of me
‘Cause she got the best of me
Whoa, whoa oh
She got the best of me
She broke my heart
Now all that’s left of me
Is beating in this guitar
Every night, a different town
She follows me around
So you get what’s left of me
Yeah, you get what’s left of me
‘Cause she got the best of me
She got the best of me
She got the best of me
