Walker Hayes - Craig lyrics

[Verse 1] I met Craig at a church called Redeeming Grace 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 said "we'll all be judged" But he was never judgemental And even though my songs don't belong in no hymnal He'd quote me my lyrics, slap me on the back Said "Man you've got a gift! How you write like that?" [Chorus] I know, he sounds cool right? Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right? I still ain't figured out church yet But Craig, I get Nah he can't walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red But he just might be tight with a man that did Yeah he's not the light of the world But I wish that mine was bright as his Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is [Verse 2] You lose a record deal, all the perks fade fast Dealership said, "We're going to need to get that mini-van back" So we were down on one car And broke as I felt My wife and six kids with only five seat belts I needed help but couldn't admit, I was strong Said, "Craig, it's all good" But he knew it all wasn't A "Hey man I'm praying for you" would've been sufficient but nah He took roadside assistance to a Whole other level, to sacrificial heights Showed up at the ballpark after my son's game one night In two cars, with his wife Barb watching from the other Said "What in the world are y'all doing here, brother?" He just laughed inside that old Chrysler Town and Country van With the keys, and a title, and a pen in his hand Said "Man, all you got to do is sign and it's yours" I said "No, no way" But he wouldn't take "No" for an answer Said "Please do Somebody did this for me once, just let me do this for you" We argued about it for a little while Then I teared up, and Craig smiled [Chorus] I know, he sounds cool right? Not your typical kid from Sunday School, right? Nah he can't walk on water, turn the Napa Valley red But he just might be tight with a man that did Yeah he's not the light of the world But I wish that mine was bright as his Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is Nah he's not the light of the world But I wish that mine was bright as his Yeah he just might be tight with a man that is [Verse 3] My pride was way too ashamed to be adequately grateful at the moment But I signed the dotted line, and I drove the kids home And when the cop pulled up beside us At the light, they didn't have to duck Because thanks to Craig They were all buckled up
