In South Carolina
There 're many tall pines
I remember the oak tree
That we used to climb
But now that I'm lonesome
I always pretend
That I'm getting the feel
Of hickory wind
I started out younger
At most everything
All the riches and pleasures
What else can life bring?
But it makes me feel better
Each time it begins
Calling me home
Hickory wind
It's a hard way to find out
That trouble is real
In a faraway city
With a faraway feel
But it makes me feel better
Each time it begins
Calling me home
Hickory wind
Yes it makes me feel better
Each time it begins
Calling me home
Hickory wind
Keeps calling me home
Hickory wind
