Back before these calloused hands did all this work
We used to sit up at the flats
Acting like we'd live forever
Getting high and skipping class
I reckon we were heathens
But in her eyes we were saints
Now you're calling all the boys home
As heavens angels carry her away
I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
Can't you see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines
Back when all us boys were trying
To make sense of all these strings
I can see her in the corner
Singing along to all our crazy dreams
I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
Can't you see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines
I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
Can't you see her up there, Cody?
I can see her through the pines
Saying boys be good
