Parker McCollum and his wife Hallie are set to be first-time parents, with a son due in August, and he’s got a little bet going with Luke Combs.<\/p>\n
They golfed a few weeks back and were messing around on guitar when Luke played him a song he just teased last week called “The Man He Sees in Me”, about being a good Dad.<\/p>\n
Luke told him once your first kid arrives, it’s hard NOT to write a million “Dad songs,” but Parker claimed it won’t be a problem for him.<\/p>\n
“There’ll be some references to [my son], but I don’t think I’ll do that. I don’t think it fits in what I do.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
But Luke told him…<\/p>\n
“Call me in six months, and tell me how many Dad songs you’ve written.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Parker says they’ve got an “ongoing bet” about it.<\/p>\n
