[Verse]
When I left, the trees had no green leaves
Like your love, everything had died
I said, "If I ever come back to you
Well, it'll be a cold day in July"
The winter has made way for the springtime
And summer has now said hello
The leaves on the trees are green again
But in my heart, it still looks like snow

[Chorus]
I'm going home on a Greyhound
Wish I could afford to fly
But my pride is not as strong as my love for you
And it looks like a cold day in July

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Outro Chorus]
But my pride is not as strong as my love for you
And it looks like a cold day in July
(Cold day, ooh) In July
