Hickory Wind (Gram Parsons/Bob Buchanan)


In South Carolina there're many tall pines
I remember the oak tree that we used to climb
But now when I'm lonesome I always pretend
That I'm getting the feel of Hickory Wind

I started out younger, had most everything
All the riches and pleasures, what else can life bring
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Calling 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
Calling me home Hickory Wind
