The wagon broke down;
rain falls quite hard on the plains
in Spain's wet season.
Fearful of the floods
coming through in a flash, had
to run for our lives
But not to worry
we're stronger than these storms, we'll
fix it all up good.
New day on new wheels
and we're movin' again; can't
sit still for too long.
Got miles to go yet
baby's due anytime now;
town ahead can help.
Baby Jane arrived
no problems so far; good lord
blessing us just fine.
Our trip ends today;
left our old life behind us
to find a new one.
Struggled something fierce
but we made it through; it's been
worth it after all.
Rich soils for planting;
plenty of time before fall
brings on first winter.
We are so grateful
we left when we did, rains were
better than the heat.
