Makin' Tracks: Luke Combs Gets a Rite of Passage Right With 'Even Though I'm Leaving'

’ “Even Though I’m Leaving,” many will be in tears, and yet some of them will want to hear it again.

In that way, “Even Though I’m Leaving” fits alongside some of country’s most touching father-son soliloquies, including’s “Seein’ My Father in Me” and’s “My Old Man.” It captures the cloud of love, grief, separation and influence that continues to bond a man to his departed dad, which is remarkable since none of the song’s three writers have yet experienced that sad rite of passage.

“I wanted it to kind of have that contrast a bit where it was softer and more lyric-driven in the verses,” explains Combs. “Then the chorus could still be this big singalong thing, but having it in that kind of upper register and giving it a little bit of the raspiness that people have become accustomed to with my stuff.”

The middle verse proved to be the trickiest part. They needed another major point of separation and eventually decided on a son preparing to head into the service. It twists a bit as he does his best to act adult — “Daddy, I’m afraid” becomes “Dad, we’ll be late.” And the father is now just as fearful as the boy, realizing there’s no guarantee he’ll see his son alive again. Instead of holding his boy’s hand, Dad hugs his neck, and “Even though I’m leavin’ ” becomes “Even though you’re leavin’.

They knew they had succeeded at the end of the day, and recorded a simple guitar/vocal work tape. Even after they had labored for hours on a project about experiences they had never had, “Even Though I’m Leaving” made them all emotional. Combs tagged the final phrase one last time at the end of the last chorus, emphasizing the father’s final words: “I ain’t goin’ nowhere.” It was a nuance he had added to the song after a handful of public and private performances.Combs, Fulcher and Durrette waited more than three-and-a-half years after the date of creation to finally see “Even Though I’m Leaving” become a single. It debuted at No. 12 on the Hot Country Songs chart dated June 22 after River House/Columbia Nashville issued his EP.
