[Verse 1]
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
Calling me home, hickory wind

[Verse 2]
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 getting the feel of hickory wind

[Verse 3]
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
Calling me home, hickory wind
Keeps calling me home, hickory wind
