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 Heavens angels carried her away So I will follow you to Virgie Although it hurts me so To lay to rest this mountain beauty The lord's called home I can 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 streams I can see her in the corner Singing along to all our crazy dreams And I will follow you to Virgie Although it hurts me so To lay to rest this mountain beauty The Lord's called home I can see her up in glory I can see her through the pines I will follow you to Virgie Because that's what us boys are for To help you out when you get weary And you can't go no more And can't you see her up there, Cody I can see her through the pines Sayin' 'boys be good'
