[1] In South Caro-[5]-lina [4] there are many tall [1] pines
I remember the [5] oak tree [4] that we used to [5] climb
But whenever I'm [4] lonely I always pre-[1]-tend [6m]
That I'm getting the [4] feel [5] of the hickory [1] wind

I started out younger had most everything
All the riches and pleasures what else could life bring
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Calling me home to the hickory wind

And it's a hard thing to find out the 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 to the hickory wind

But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Calling me home to the hickory wind
