Hickory Winds

Emmylou Harris Hickory Winds written by Gram Parsons

Bob Buchanon

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
