[Verse 1: Jonah Scott]
Billy’s a lawful man
He’s just got a gun in his hand
And he’ll defend young Anne
If he must

[Verse 2: Jonah Scott]
He says, “Come hell or high water
She’ll always know what I taught her”
A good man any good daughter
Could trust

[Chorus 1: Jonah Scott]
She says, “I for one
Haven’t seen the sun
In days or maybe months”
He said, “The storm don’t care
That we were unprepared
But you can walk in my tracks till we’re home”

[Verse 3: All]
Virgil’s a tagalong
Singing his grandmother’s song
Though he may get it wrong
Now and then
[Verse 4: All]
She was never much for snow
She told him a long time ago
And only now does he know
What she meant

[Chorus 2: All]
She meant, “I for one
Haven't seen the sun
In days or maybe months
But the storm don't care
That we were unprepared
Can I walk with your pack till we're home?”

[Bridge: Jonah Scott]
And I don’t care what you say
The world looks beautiful today
And I don’t know where you’ve been
But I think I hear people singing out
I hear cathedral bells ringing out
And I can’t fall asleep
‘Cause the moonlight’s reflected in the snow
And the moon’s alright

[Chorus 3: Jonah Scott, All]
But I for one
Haven’t seen the sun
In days or maybe months
And it’s only fair
That I take you where
That’s not true anymore
When the storm is through
We’ll know what to do
You can walk in my tracks till we’re home
