Biography:
In a complicated world, Cam Penner finds beauty in simplicity, with an honest, spare approach to folk music that is refreshing in an age filled with so much insincerity and irony. Singing uncompromising songs about redemption and truth, his is a voice for the disenfranchised, a storyteller for those who never reach their destination. Penner's fiercely personal lyrics are complemented by a gentle acoustic guitar style, and the defiant heroes of his songs are weary, but they are never defeated.

Capo 5
[Verse 1]
Em G A G
Thirteen my lucky number
Em G A G
Thirteen miles thirteen seconds to the thunder
Em G A G
Fourteen floors is really thirteen under cover
Em G A G
It's a strange thing
Em G A G
For some it's frightening
Em G A G x2
[Verse 2]
Em G A G
Thirteen letters in your name
Em G A G
If you include the middle initial, wrote it down the other day
Em G A G
I'm saying 13 years and I'll never be the same
Em G A G
And that's a good thing
Em G A G
It's the awakening
[Bridge]
Em G
Its the name, I'm laying in bed
Em G
Must've been the wine, must’ve gone to my head
A
And got to thinkin bout life

And how it's slipping away Time is slipping away
Em G A G
So rejoice
Em G A G
Rejoice
[Verse 3]
Em G A G
Thirteen my lucky number
Em G A G
The one I keep tucked up under
Em G A G
In desperate times in stormy weather
Em G A G
When I'm feeling blue
Em G A G
When I'm needing you
[Verse 4]
Em G A G
Thirteen to set me loose
Em G A G
Thirteen knots in a hang man’s noose
Em G A G
I'll take the stand and I'll speak the truth
Em G A G
It's all I know to do
Em G A G
It's all I know to do
[Outro]

Thirteen steps to the gallows
Em G Em G
One to lead twelve to follow

Thirteen summers thirteen springs
