Craig

Lyrics

[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
