Country music singer-songwriter Luke Combs has released his latest song “The Great Divide” with Billy Strings! Combs co-wrote the track with Billy and Wyatt Durrette. According to the star, it was originally intended to be on a bluegrass album that Combs was working on, but that has been put on pause.
“I thought now was a good time to put this song out with everything that has been and is going on in the world. It isn’t meant to be political or try and tell you what to think or believe; that’s not my job. It’s just me saying how I felt when I wrote it and I wanted y’all to hear it. Since it was meant to be on my bluegrass album, it will sound a little different than what y’all are used to hearing from me, but would love for y’all to check it out and let me know what y’all think,” Combs shared on Facebook about the song.
“The Great Divide” Lyric Video
“The Great Divide” Lyrics
We’re striking matches on the TV
Setting fires on our phones
Bearing crosses we believe in dying on
Tempers flare, the flame flies higher
As we soar closer towards the sun
But I like to think too much damage ain’t been done
We’re all so far, so far apart now
It’s as deep as it is wide
We’re about to fall apart now
If we can’t reach the other side
We gotta find a way across the great divide
Sometimes it seems that our convictions
Side of the fence that we stand on
Makes us all too damn different to get along
But I’ve seen strangers love each other
Like a mother does her son
What we see ain’t only all that’s going on
We’re all so far, so far apart now
It’s as deep as it is wide
We’re about to fall apart now
If we can’t reach the other side
We gotta find a way across the great divide
We’re all so far, so far apart now
It’s as deep as it is wide
We’re about to fall apart now
If we can’t reach the other side
We gotta find a way across the great divide
The great divide
