Luke Combs wanted to "crawl into a hole" when Tracy Chapman informed him he got a 'Fast Car' lyric wrong. The 34-year-old country music legend had a hit in April with his cover of the 1988 classic, and he has now revealed he was left mortified when the 60-year-old music legend pointed out his error. He should have sung “We gotta make a decision", but he recorded "Still gotta make a decision" by mistake.
In a fan's TikTok video of his recent concert, he shared: “That was the first time that I knew that I recorded the song incorrectly. “It was her telling me that. Because I remember, when she said that, I wanted to crawl into a hole.
" Luke insists Tracy was "cool" about it, but it irks him every time he performs the song now. He went on: “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.
“But she was so cool about it.” The 'Nothing Like You' singer has now decided to start singing Tracy's original lyric going forward. He said: “So the version you know is, ‘Still gotta make a decision.
’ Not the words. “It’s just not the words. I made that up in my head.
“So tonight, I’m going to sing ‘We gotta make a decision.’ Because Tracy Chapman told me to, and dammit, I’m gonna do it.” Tracy and Luke teamed up for a duet of the song at the Grammys earlier this year, and Luke's cover was also nominated for Best Solo Countr.
