In South Carolina there are many tall pines
                                 
I remember the oak tree that we used to climb
                                
But now when 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 could life bring?
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Callin' me home, hickory wind

It's hard 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
