Hickory Wind

Emmylou Harris

In South Carolina 
There are many tall pines 
I remember the oak tree 
That we used to climb 

But it makes me feel better 
Each time it begins 
Callin' me home 
Hickory Wind 

I started out younger 
At most everything 
All the riches and pleasures 
What else could life bring 

But now when I'm lonesome 
I always pretend 
That I'm gettin' the feel of 
Hickory Wind 

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 
Callin' me home 
Hickory Wind 

Keeps callin' me home 
Hickory Wind
