G…
I met CrGaig at a church called Redeeming Grace

It’s like he understood my “I don’t want to 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 aGll be judged”

But he was never judgmental

And even though my songs don’t belong in no hymnal
He’d quGote me my lyrics, slap me on the back

Said, “Man you’ve got a gift! How you write like that?”

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I fisknow, he soGunds cool, right?
Not your tgisypical kid from Sunday schCool, right?
I sfistill ain’t figured out chGurch yet
But CrCaig, I get
Nah he can’t fiswalk on wGater, or turn the NaCpa Valley rGed
But he fisjust might bGe tight with a mCan that dGid
Now he’s not the fislight of the woGrld
But I wish that mCine was bright as hGis
Yeah he fisjust might Gbe tight with a mCan that Gis
G…
When you loGse a record deal, y’all the perks fade fast

Dealership said, “We’re gonna need to get that minivan back”
So we were dGown on one car

And broke as I felt

Had my wife and six kids and only five seat belts
I needed hGelp but couldn’t admit, I was struggling

I said, “Craig, it’s all good”

But he knew it all wasn’t
G “HGey man I’m praying for you” would’ve been sufficient but nah

He took roadside assistance to a
Whole other level, fisto sacrifGicial heights
Showed up at the bCallpark after my sGon’s game one night
In two fiscars with his wife LGaura watching from the other
CI said “What in the world are y’aGll doing here, brother?”
He just lfisaughed inside that old ChryGsler town and country van
With the kCeys and the title, aGnd a pen in his hand
Said, “Man, fisall you gotta DGo is sign and it’s yours”
I said, “NCah, no way”
But Ghe wouldn’t take “Nah” for an afisnswer
He sGaid, “Please dude
Somebody did tChis for me once, just lGet me Do this for you”
fisWe argued about it for a liGttle while

And I teared up, and Craig smiled
Nah he can’t fiswalk on wGater, or turn the NaCpa Valley rGed
But he fisjust might bGe tight with a mCan that dGid
Now he’s not the fislight of the woGrld
But I wish that mCine was bright as hGis
Yeah he fisjust might Gbe tight with a mCan that Gis
G…

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I fisknow, he soGunds cool, right?
Not your tgisypical kid from Sunday schCool, right?
I sfistill ain’t figured out chGurch yet
But CrCaig, I get
Nah he can’t fiswalk on wGater, or turn the NaCpa Valley rGed
But he fisjust might bGe tight with a mCan that dGid
Now he’s not the fislight of the woGrld
But I wish that mCine was bright as hGis
Yeah he fisjust might Gbe tight with a mCan that Gis
My pride was way too asfishamed to be adequately grGateful at the moment
But I sCigned the dotted line, aGnd I drove the kids home
And when a giscop pulled up beside us
At the lCight, they didn’t have to duck
GBecause thanks to Craig

They were all buckled up
