Even Luc Combs messes up the lyrics of his favorite songs.

The 34-year-old country musician, who was recently nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance for his cover of Tracy ChapmanIt is “Fast car“, admitted that one of his most embarrassing moments came from this track.

In the middle of a recent concert, he was reminded of a particular mistake that still haunts him. At a spectator’s TikTokHe can be heard telling the crowd that a conversation with Chapman, 60, led him to realize he had sung the lyrics “We have to make a decision” wrong. He recorded it as “I still have to make a decision.”

“That was the first time I knew I recorded the song wrong,” he told the crowd. “She was the one who told me that. Because I remember when she said that, I felt like crawling in a hole.”

“Luckily she was great about it. And I think about it every time I sing this song, and I will think about it every time I sing this song for the rest of my life,” he said. “But she was so cool about it.”

Combs told the crowd he was going to sing Chapman’s original lyrics and drop his recorded version.

“So the version you know is: ‘I still have to make a decision.’ Not the words,” he said. “It’s just not the words. I made this up in my head.

“So tonight I’m going to sing ‘We Have to Make a Decision.’ Because Tracy Chapman told me to, and damn it, I’m going to do it.

Combs covered the 1988 track in April 2023, and he quickly became a fan favorite. After peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and dominating the country music charts, Combs’ recording was nominated for a Grammy. And at 66th Grammy Awards in February, Combs was joined by Chapman for a moving rendition of the song.

Before their performance, Chapman said Billboard in July 2023, she was happy to see that people still enjoy the trail more than 30 years later.

“I didn’t expect to be on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there,” she said. “I’m happy for Luke and his success and grateful that new fans have found and embraced ‘Fast Car.'”

Combs told PEOPLE as of December 2023, he always thought it was “one of the best songs of all time”.

“But there’s nothing like Tracy’s version, so I thought it would just be a nice complement to the original, but I didn’t really expect mine to take off like it did. ‘did,” he said.
