A track from Luke Combs’ debut album, many listeners find the song deeply moving, finding the story told relating to their own personal experiences with loss or family.

That old phone of mine,
2: 39, AM
When I got the call
Half asleep
Thought it was a dream,
But it wasn’t after all
That old dog of yours
Sitting on the porch
Waits for you to come home
Little does he know
That you won’t
Be walking through that door

Touching Universal Emotions

Reviewers and fans alike often praise Combs’ authenticity and grounded nature, which translates into the song’s honest expression of human emotion.

But I’m gettin’ used to that old truck of yours,
Sittin’ out in the drive
I’m gettin’ used to you not bein’ there
At church on Sunday night
I’m gettin’ used to the radio playin’
Without you singin’ along
But I’ll never get used to you bein’ gone
