IntroA...VerseI met CrAaig 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 aAll be judged"
But he was never judgmental
And even though my songs don't belong in no hymnal
He'd quAote me my lyrics, slap me on the back
Said, "Man you've got a gift! How you write like that?"

Pre-ChorusYeah, I F#mknow, he soEunds cool, right?
Not your tC#mypical kid from Sunday schDool, right?
I sF#mtill ain't figured out chEurch yet
But CrDaig, I getChorusNah he can't F#mwalk on wEater, or turn the NaDpa Valley rAed
But he F#mjust might bEe tight with a mDan that dAid
Now he's not the F#mlight of the woErld
But I wish that mDine was bright as hAis
Yeah he F#mjust might Ebe tight with a mDan that Ais InterludeA...VerseWhen you loAse a record deal, y'all the perks fade fast
Dealership said, "We're gonna need to get that minivan back"
So we were dAown on one car
And broke as I felt
Had my wife and six kids and only five seat belts
I needed hAelp but couldn't admit, I was struggling
I said, "Craig, it's all good"
But he knew it all wasn't
A "HAey man I'm praying for you" would've been sufficient but nah
He took roadside assistance to aBridgeWhole other level, F#mto sacrifEicial heights
Showed up at the bDallpark after my sAon's game one night
In two F#mcars with his wife LEaura watching from the other
DI said "What in the world are y'aAll doing here, brother?"
He just lF#maughed inside that old ChryEsler town and country van
With the kDeys and the title, aAnd a pen in his hand
Said, "Man, F#mall you gotta dEo is sign and it's yours"
I said, "NDah, no way"
But Ahe wouldn't take "Nah" for an aF#mnswer
He sEaid, "Please dude
Somebody did tDhis for me once, just lAet me do this for you"
F#mWe argued about it for a liEttle while
And I teared up, and Craig smiledChorusNah he can't F#mwalk on wEater, or turn the NaDpa Valley rAed

But I sDigned the dotted line, aAnd I drove the kids home
And when a C#mcop pulled up beside us
At the lDight, they didn't have to duck
EBecause thanks to Craig
They were all buckled up
