Time To Go - John Vanderslice

We pushed the horses as long as we could

Over Coolie pass into Sierra Woods

Burned the wagon wheels for heat, for food

We cut down Timothy Gant to die,

The twelve could make it through

Time to go, time to go go

Time to go, time to go go go Time to go, time to go go go Time to go, time to go go go We’ll never come back

It’s time to go Try to make it to the shore

It’s time to go And now I know

It’s time to go Bakersfield we found a planned community

With plentiful two-bedrooms and full amenities

We sold the horses, we sold our guns

A Specter of Timothy Gant appeared on my lawn

And told me to run

It’s time to go, time to go time to go Time to go, time to go go go Time to go, time to go go go time to go time to go go go We’ll never make it back

It’s time to go And vanish through the cracks

Of molten ash

Don’t know what you had

It’s time to go
