Lyrics to The 13th Apostle (feat. The Wood Brothers)
Well everybody knows about James and John
And how Peter's the rock God built upon
Yeah, but nobody knows about little old me
The other black sheep of the family
Yeah, I'm marching in the army of the holy cause
I'll bring up the back of the entourage
I get the water, I wash the clothes
And a million other things that nobody ever knows
I'm the 13th apostle, just by the hair of my chin
Cause I doubt more than Thomas and I make my own bathtub gin
Barely made the fold, but Jesus told me he'd go out on a limb
So I'm the 13th apostle, bet you never heard about him
Well they fit me a robe and it suits me fine
I get three meals a day, plus the bread and the wine
It don't pay nothing, but I can't complain
I stay out of trouble and I get to say
I'm the 13th apostle, just by the hair of my chin
Cause I doubt more than Thomas and I make my own bathtub gin
Barely made the fold, but Jesus told me he'd go out on a limb
So I'm the 13th apostle, bet you never heard about him
Well I'm a first hand witness of the trinity
I've seen a dead man rise and a blind man see
Yeah but that ain't the reason I'm a devotee
No I believe in him cause he believes in me
I'm the 13th apostle, just by the hair of my chin
Cause I doubt more than Thomas and I make my own bathtub gin
Barely made the fold, but Jesus told me he'd go out on a limb
So I'm the 13th apostle, bet you never heard about him
And how Peter's the rock God built upon
Yeah, but nobody knows about little old me
The other black sheep of the family
Yeah, I'm marching in the army of the holy cause
I'll bring up the back of the entourage
I get the water, I wash the clothes
And a million other things that nobody ever knows
I'm the 13th apostle, just by the hair of my chin
Cause I doubt more than Thomas and I make my own bathtub gin
Barely made the fold, but Jesus told me he'd go out on a limb
So I'm the 13th apostle, bet you never heard about him
Well they fit me a robe and it suits me fine
I get three meals a day, plus the bread and the wine
It don't pay nothing, but I can't complain
I stay out of trouble and I get to say
I'm the 13th apostle, just by the hair of my chin
Cause I doubt more than Thomas and I make my own bathtub gin
Barely made the fold, but Jesus told me he'd go out on a limb
So I'm the 13th apostle, bet you never heard about him
Well I'm a first hand witness of the trinity
I've seen a dead man rise and a blind man see
Yeah but that ain't the reason I'm a devotee
No I believe in him cause he believes in me
I'm the 13th apostle, just by the hair of my chin
Cause I doubt more than Thomas and I make my own bathtub gin
Barely made the fold, but Jesus told me he'd go out on a limb
So I'm the 13th apostle, bet you never heard about him
