January's Bitter Chill

The wind it howls through the pine and oak

January's breath, it'll leave you broke

Snow piles high on the old dirt road

This bitter chill, it takes a heavy toll

Frost on the window, fire's burnin' low

Huddle close, where the warmth can grow

Feel the bite in the midnight air

It's a lonely, cold affair

Oh, January's bitter chill

Takes a heart and makes it still

In this town, where the winter's long

We survive and we get strong

Morning light meets a frozen stream

A world in white, like a cold dream

Icicles hang from the barnyard door

Feels like it'll last forevermore

Footprints trace a story in the snow

Where we've been and where we'll go

But for now, we just stand and wait

For a warmer time, let's hope it ain't late

Oh, January's bitter chill

Takes a heart and makes it still

In this town, where the winter's long

We survive and we get strong

In this town, where the winter's long

We'll survive as long as we stay strong
