Standard (EADGBE)

In South Carolina, there're 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 headin' the field of hickory wind

I started out younger, had most everything;

all the riches and pleasures, what else can life bring?

But it makes me feel better, each time you begin,

callin' 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 you begin,

callin' me home, hickory wind

Keeps callin' me home, hickory wind
