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
