In south carolina

There are many tall pines

I remember the oak tree

That we used to climb

But it makes me feel better

Each time it begins

Callin' me home

Hickory wind

I started out younger

At most everything

All the riches and pleasures

What else could life bring

But now when I'm lonesome

I always pretend

That I'm gettin' the feel of

Hickory wind

It's a hard way to find out

That trouble is real

In a far away city

With a far away feel

But it makes me feel better

Each time it begins

Callin' me home

Hickory wind

Keeps callin' me home

Hickory wind
