"Cold Day in July" is a song written by Richard Leigh and most famously recorded by American country music group the Dixie Chicks. Before the Chicks recorded the song, Suzy Bogguss and Joy Lynn White both recorded the song for their albums Voices in the Wind and Between Midnight & Hindsight; Lynn White's version was released as a single in 1993, reaching number 71 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Quick Facts Single by Dixie Chicks, from the album Fly ...

The Dixie Chicks's version was released on May 8, 2000, to country radio as the fourth single from their fifth studio album and second major label album Fly (1999) by Monument Records. Compared to the previous singles, the song notably has a much darker meaning about a woman's husband leaving her on a "cold day in July".

The song returned the Chicks back to the top ten on the country charts following "Goodbye Earl", which was their first single to miss the top ten. The song peaked at number ten in US country in July 2000 and also went to the number seven peak on the RPM Canadian Country Tracks chart.[1][2]
