Luke Combs' wife Nicole has again taken some fan questions on her Insta stories. Nicole is expecting the couple's second baby, a son, in September, and fans often ask her for details about the upcoming bundle of joy. The couple already has one-year-old Tex.

One fan asked her if she and Luke plan on having more kids after baby number two arrives in the fall. Nicole replied, "Maybe, but I'm gonna need a slightly bigger age gap and house. lol."

Another die-hard asked her about the couple's infertility problems at the beginning of their marriage in 2020. She replied to how long it took them to get pregnant with Tex, "1.5 years of unexplained infertility, but you just chalk it up to the right timing for our lives."

Nicole said recently that she and Combs have a tough time picking a name for the new baby but love one-syllable names like Tex. When asked what names she was not using for the new bundle of joy, she noted, "Love these names, but we won't be using them: Banks, Brooks, and James."

Nicole recently revealed while taking fan questions on her Insta stories that she will have their second child, a baby boy due in September, in a Nashville area hospital and not at home.

When one fan asked if she would have a home birth, Nicole replied, "Home births seem... lovely... but if anything goes wrong with me or the baby, you bet your a-- I want to already be at the hospital instead of a 30-minute car ride away."

Another fan asked how she deals with Luke going on such long distances when he is touring. Nicole responded, "He's only gone two or three nights a week, so it's really not that bad at all." She added, "It's only tough when he goes overseas for a few weeks, but it could be much worse."

Combs is scheduled to visit Australia for several dates in August and will tour Europe in late September, hopefully before or after the baby is born.

Country music can be pretty funny at times with their songs and subject matter, and several country superstars like Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton are known for their humor as much as for their music.

We gathered what we thought were some of the funniest country songs and lyrics of all time, and yes, Blake and Brad are on the list.

Luke Combs - "When It Rains, It Pours" - 2017

This is a funny song about how Luke's character's luck changed for the better when his girl said goodbye. - The lyrics include, "Now she was sure real quick to up and apologize / When she heard about my newfound luck / On that FM dial / And it's crazy how lately now / It just seems to come in waves / What I thought was gonna be the death of me / Was my saving grace / It's got me thinkin' that her leavin' / Is the only logical reason."

Brad Paisley - "I'm Gonna Miss Her" - 2001

A song about a guy being told by his girl that he needs to choose between fishing and her. Surprise! He chooses fishing. Brad's hilarious lyrics include, "But today she met me at the door / Said I would have to choose / If I hit that fishin' hole today / She'd be packin' all her things / And she'd be gone by noon / Well, I'm gonna miss her / When I get home." The video for the song was the first time he met his now wife of 19 years, actress Kimberly Williams - Paisley.

Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty - "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly" - 1971

This classic from 1971 includes the lyrics, "And that's the reason my good looks and my figure's gone / And that's the reason I ain't got no hair to comb / And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darling / Ah but looks ain't everything / And money ain't everything / But, I love you just the same."

Blake Shelton - "Some Beach" - 2004

A song full of troubles but Blake's character escapes them, by heading to some beach somewhere. "Drivin' down the interstate / Runnin' thirty minutes late / Singin' 'Margaritaville' and mindin' my own / Some foreign car drivin' dude with a road rage attitude / Pulled up beside me talking on his cell phone / He started yellin' at me like I did somethin' wrong / He flipped me the bird and then he was gone / Some beach / Somewhere / There's a big umbrella casting shade over an empty chair."

Miranda Lambert & Maren Morris - "Way Too Pretty For Prison" - 2019

A fun song about two women wanting to kill their man, but they are just too pretty for prison. "He cheated, he's a villain / And you know I'd help you kill him / But we're way too pretty for prison / Hard time ain't our kind of livin' / And I don't want to talk about / The way those jumpsuits wash us out / We're way too pretty for prison."
