Back before these calloused hands and all this work We used to sit up at the flats Acting like we'd live forever Getting high and skipping class
Yeah, I reckon we were heathens But in her eyes, we were saints Now you're calling all the boys home 'Cause heaven's angels carried her away
So, I will follow you to Virgie Although it hurts me so To lay to rest this mountain beauty That the Lord's called home And I can't see her up in glory I can see her through the pines
Back when all us boys were tryin' To make sense of all these strings I can see her in the corner Singing along to all our crazy dreams
So, I will follow you to Virgie Although it hurts me so To lay to rest this mountain beauty That the Lord's called home And I can see her up in glory I can see her through the pines
And I will follow you to Virgie 'Cause that's what us boys are for To help you out when you get weary And you can't go no more
Can't you see her up there, Cody? I can see her through the pines Saying boys be good
