Craig

[Verse 1]
I met Craig at a church called Redeeming Grace
It's like he understood my "I don't wanna be here" face
I felt out of place and I smelled like beer
But he just shook my hand, said, "I'm glad you're here"
He says we'll all be judged, but he was never judgemental
And even though my songs don't belong in no hymnal
He'd quote me my lyrics, slap me on the back
Said, "Man, you got a gift, how you write like that?"

[Chorus]
Yeah, I know, he sounds cool, right?
Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?
I still ain't figured out church yet
But, Craig, I get
Nah, he can't walk on water
Or turn the Napa Valley red
But he just might be tight with a man that did
Now, he's not the light of the world
But I wish that mine was bright as his
Yeah, he just might be tight with a man that is

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh

[Verse 2]
When you lose a record deal, yeah, all the perks fade fast
Dealership said, "We're gonna need to get that mini-van back"
So we were down on one car and broke as I felt
Had my wife and six kids and only five seat belts
I needed help, but couldn't admit I was strugglin'
I said, "Craig, it's all good," but he knew it all wasn't
A "hey, man, I'm prayin' for you" woulda been sufficient
But nah, he took roadside assistance
To a whole 'nother level to sacrificial heights
Showed up at the ballpark after my son's game one night
In two cars with his wife Barb watchin' from the other
I said, "What in the world are y'all doin' here, brother?"
He just laughed inside that old Chrysler Town and Country van
With the keys and the title and a pen in his hands
Said, "Man, all you gotta do is sign and it's yours"
I said, "No, no way," but he wouldn't take "nah" for an answer
He said, "Please, dude
Somebody did this for me once, just let me do this for you"
We argued about it for a little while
Then I teared up and Craig smiled

[Chorus]
Yeah, I know, he sounds cool, right?
Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?
Nah, he can't walk on water
Or turn the Napa Valley red
But he just might be tight with a man that did
Now he's not the light of the world
But I wish that mine was bright as his
Yeah, he just might be tight with a man that is

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh

[Outro]
My pride was way too ashamed
To be adequately grateful at the moment
But I signed the dotted line and I drove the kids home
And when a cop pulled up beside us at the light
They didn't have to duck
'Cause thanks to Craig, they were all buckled up
