[Verse 1]
CI met Craig at a church called RFedeeming Grace
Like he uGnderstood my "I don't want to Cbe here" face
I felt out of place and I sFmelled like beer
But he just sGhook my hand, said "I'm Cglad you're here"
CHe said "we'll all be judged"
But he was nFever judgemental
And Geven though my songs don't belCong in no hymnal
He'd quote me my lyrics, sFlap me on the back
Said "MGan you've got a gift! How Cyou write like that?"
[Chorus]
AmI know, he sounds Gcool right?
Not your tFypical kid from Sunday School, right?
I still ain't figured out church yGet
But Craig,C I get
Nah he can't walk on wFater, turn the NGapa Valley rCed
But he just might be tFight with a Gman that diCd
Yeah he's not the light of the wForld
But I wish that Gmine was bright as hCis
Yeah he just mFight be tight with a mGan that iCs

[Verse 2]
You lCose a record deal, all the pFerks fade fast
DealerGship said, "We're going to need to get that mCini-van back"
CSo we were down on one car
And bFroke as I felt
My wGife and six kids with only fCive seat belts
I needed help but couldn't aFdmit, I was strong
Said, "CGraig, it's all good"
But he Cknew it all wasn't
A "Hey man I'm praying for you" wFould've been sufficient but nah
GHe took roadside asCsistance to a
Whole other level, to sacrificial hEmeights
EmShowed up at the ballpark after my son's game one night
EmIn two cars, with his wife Barb watching from the other
FSaid "What in the world are y'all doing here, brother?"
He just Claughed inside that old Chrysler Town and Country van
With the kEmeys, and a title, and a pGen in his hand
Said "CMan, all you got to do is sign and it's yours"
I said "AmNo, no way"
But he Fwouldn't take "No" for an Ganswer
GSaid "Please do
Somebody Cdid this for me once, just let me do this for you"
GWe argued about it for a little while
Then I teared up, and Craig smiled
[Chorus]
IAm know, he sounds Gcool right?
Not your Ftypical kid from Sunday School, right?
Nah he can't walk on wFater, turn the NGapa Valley rCed
But he just might be tFight with a Gman that diCd
Yeah he's not the light of the wForld
But I wish that Gmine was bright as hCis
Yeah he just mFight be tight with a mGan that iCs

[Verse 3]
CMy pride was way too ashamed to be adequately grateful aFt the moment
But I sGigned the dotted line, and I dCrove the kids home
And when the cop pulled up beside us at the lFight, they didn't have to duck
GBecause thanks to Craig C
They were all buckled up F G C F G
