TROJAN

James Michael Taylor

TROJAN capo @ 3 in C

(C) When mommy and daddy live two thousand miles from each other it’s hard on the (G) kid
He can’t hold both their hands but he must stand between them and you know it’s for nothing he (C) did
And you (F) know it’s for nothin
And you (C) know it’s for nothin
And you (G) know it’s for nothin he (C) did

Am F C
So he climbs on a horse that his daddy named Trojan
G C
and he rides like there’s some place to go
Am F C
And he thinks about Mommy and Daddy together
G C
and the eyes in his face, how they glow

(Turnaround)

He says, “Come on Trojan. Let’s go and get Mommy.
There’s 2000 miles left to go,
And if you know my Daddy, he’s getting things ready.
Come on now, you’re going to slow.”
And you know it’s for nothin
And you know it’s for nothin
And you know it’s for nothin , you know

And he talks to the horse that his daddy named Trojan
And he talks like there’s someplace to go
And he talks about Mommy and Daddy together
And the eyes in his face, how they glow

(Turnaround)

Trojan said, “Listen, Kid, things aren’t that simple
Besides, I’m not young any more
So quit kicking’ my ribs in and go sing to your mommy.
Go, now, you’re making me sore.”
And you know it’s for nothin
And you know it’s for nothin
And you know it’s for nothin, no more

He climbs down from the horse that his daddy named Trojan
Like a child who has been here before
And he sings about Mommy and Daddy together
She rolls her eyes as he walks thru the door

Repeat Verse 1 and chorus (2)

My youngest brother Joe Ray had a kid named Joe Ben. Joe was a fancy jumper/trick pilot. Of course, he’s dead now. Joe Ben was named after the character that drowned in SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION.
