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
