"Bailey, from the song “Baptisms”, is helping Jim’s wife move west. The dustbowl is in full swing in America, and Jim died of cancer the year before. Both Bailey and his dead friend’s wife have lost their homes, so they are traveling to California together. She resents having Bailey with her at first, but over the course of their travels and hardships heading west, they fall in love."
