Verse 1
[C]I met Craig at a church called R[F]Redeeming Grace
Like he u[G]understood my "I don't want to [C]be here" face
I felt out of place and I s[F]smelled like beer
But he just s[G]shook my hand, said "I'm [C]glad you're here"
[C]He said "we'll all be judged"
But he was n[F]never judgemental
And [G]even though my songs don't bel[C]belong in no hymnal
He'd quote me my lyrics, s[F]slap me on the back
Said "M[G]"Man you've got a gift! How [C]you write like that?"
Chorus
[Am]I know, he sounds [G]cool right?
Not your t[F]typical kid from Sunday School, right?
I still ain't figured out church y[G]yet
But Craig,[C]Craig, I get
Nah he can't walk on w[F]ater, turn the N[G]apa Valley r[C]ed
But he just might be t[F]tight with a [G]man that di[C]did
Yeah he's not the light of the w[F]world
But I wish that [G]mine was bright as h[C]his
Yeah he just m[F]ight be tight with a m[G]an that i[C]s

Verse 2
You l[C]lose a record deal, all the p[F]perks fade fast
Dealer[G]Dealership said, "We're going to need to get that m[C]mini-van back"
[C]So we were down on one car
And b[F]broke as I felt
My w[G]wife and six kids with only f[C]five seat belts
I needed help but couldn't a[F]admit, I was strong
Said, "C[G]"Craig, it's all good"
But he [C]knew it all wasn't
A "Hey man I'm praying for you" w[F]would've been sufficient but nah
[G]He took roadside as[C]assistance to a
Whole other level, to sacrificial h[Em]heights
[Em]Showed up at the ballpark after my son's game one night
[Em]In two cars, with his wife Barb watching from the other
[F]Said "What in the world are y'all doing here, brother?"
He just [C]laughed inside that old Chrysler Town and Country van
With the k[Em]keys, and a title, and a p[G]pen in his hand
Said "[C]"Man, all you got to do is sign and it's yours"
I said "[Am]"No, no way"
But he [F]wouldn't take "No" for an [G]answer
[G]Said "Please do
Somebody [C]did this for me once, just let me do this for you"
[G]We argued about it for a little while
Then I teared up, and Craig smiled
Chorus
I[Am]I know, he sounds [G]cool right?
Not your [F]typical kid from Sunday School, right?
Nah he can't walk on w[F]ater, turn the N[G]apa Valley r[C]ed
But he just might be t[F]tight with a [G]man that di[C]did
Yeah he's not the light of the w[F]world
But I wish that [G]mine was bright as h[C]his
Yeah he just m[F]ight be tight with a m[G]an that i[C]s

Verse 3
[C]My pride was way too ashamed to be adequately grateful a[F]at the moment
But I s[G]signed the dotted line, and I d[C]drove the kids home
And when the cop pulled up beside us at the l[F]light, they didn't have to duck
[G]Because thanks to Craig [C]
They were all buckled up [F] [G] [C] [F] [G]
