Back before these calloused hands did all this work
We used to sit up at the flats
Actin' like we'd live forever
Gettin' high and skippin' class
Yeah, I reckon we were heathens
But in her eyes, we were saints
Now you're callin' all the boys home
As heavens 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 see her up in glory, I can see her though the pines
Back when all us boys were tryin'
To make sense of all these strings
I can see her in the corner
Singin' 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 that the Lord's called home
And I can see her up in glory, I can see her though the pines
And I will follow you to Virgie, 'cause that's what us boys are for
To help ya 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
Sayin', boys, be good
