hickory wind

words and music: gram parsons and bob buchanon

in south carolina
there are many tall pines
i remember the oak tree
that we used to climb
but now when i'm lonesome
i'd always pretend
that i'm gettin' the feel
of hickory wind

i started out younger
at most everything
all the riches and pleasures
what else can life bring?
but it makes me feel better
each time it begins
callin' me home
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
