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

[Verse 2]
C F
You lose a record deal, all the perks fade fast
G C
Dealership said, "We're going to need to get that mini-van back"
C
So we were down on one car
F
And broke as I felt
G C
My wife and six kids with only five seat belts
F
I needed help but couldn't admit, I was strong
G
Said, "Craig, it's all good"
C
But he knew it all wasn't
F
A "Hey man I'm praying for you" would've been sufficient but nah
G C
He took roadside assistance to a
Em
Whole other level, to sacrificial 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?"
C
He just laughed inside that old Chrysler Town and Country van
Em G
With the keys, and a title, and a pen in his hand
C
Said "Man, all you got to do is sign and it's yours"
Am
I said "No, no way"
F G
But he wouldn't take "No" for an answer
G
Said "Please do
C
Somebody 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]
Am G
I know, he sounds cool right?
F
Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right?
F G C
Nah he can't walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red
F G C
But he just might be tight with a man that did
F
Yeah he's not the light of the world
G C
But I wish that mine was bright as his
F G C
Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is

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