Standard (EADGBE)

 In South Carolina there are many tall pines

 I remember the oak tree that we use to climb

 But it makes me feel better each time it begins

 Calling me home Hickory Winds

I started out younger at most everything

All the riches and pleasures what else could life bring

 But now that I'm lonesome I always pretend

 That I'm getting the feel of Hickory Winds

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 Winds
