Luke Combs and his wife Nicole are in Florida after Luke performed in from the the Daytona 500 over the weekend (2/14) because Nashville is snowed in and the airport has been closed for a few days.

While in Florida, Luke shared some new music with fans. He posted to Twitter, "Haven’t been able to get home from Daytona yet because of the weather, so we’re just hanging out and I figured I’d share a new song I’ve been working on with @ChanningWilson and @BigRobSnyder. It's called "Growin' Up and Gettin' Old." What do y’all think?"

"I still hit them dive bars every once in a blue moon / got a wild card that I keep inside my boot / I been thinking lately maybe I should save it / Cause them hangovers sure kick my ass these days / I spend most my happy hours here at home / but in the middle of growin' up and gettin' old," Combs sings in the chorus. "But I can still raise hell all night with the boys when I want to / lay that hammer down to see how fast she'll go / but these days I hang my hat on what I won't do / And I been findin' peace of mind slowin' my role / Learn to tow that line with time as it goes / I'm in the middle of growin up and gettin' old."
