Follow You To Virgie
Tyler Childers Lyrics

I can see her through the pines
Saying boys be good

The lyrics of Tyler Childers's song "Follow You To Virgie" are a poignant reflection on the bonds of friendship and mourning. The song begins by painting a picture of a group of young people who used to hang out and live carefree lives together. They would skip school and get high, acting as though they had all the time in the world ahead of them. However, time has passed, and things have changed. The singer reflects on their lost youth and their friend who has since passed away. The singer feels the sting of the loss deeply, saying that even though it hurts, they will follow their friend to their final resting place in Virgie.

The singer also imagines their friend up in heaven, looking down at them from amidst the trees. The image of the departed friend is a comforting one, but it is also a painful reminder of what has been lost. The song ends with the singer addressing Cody, asking if he can see their friend up in heaven, still watching over them.

Overall, the song offers a moving reflection on the importance of friendship and the indelible mark that certain people can leave on our lives. It is a tribute to a friend who has passed on, and a reminder to cherish those we still have with us.

Back before these calloused hands did all this work
Before my hands became calloused from hard work, back when I was younger

We used to sit up at the flats
We used to hang out at the flats (an area of land)

Acting like we'd live forever
We felt invincible, like we would never die

Getting high and skipping class
We would smoke weed and skip school

I reckon we were heathens
I think we were wild and reckless

But in her eyes we were saints
But to her, we were good people

Now you're calling all the boys home
You are inviting all of us back home

As heavens angels carry her away
As angels from heaven take her to the afterlife

I will follow you to Virgie
I will go with you to Virgie (a place)

Although it hurts me so
Even though it pains me greatly

To lay to rest this mountain beauty
To bury this beautiful woman from the mountains

That the Lord's called home
Who the Lord has taken to the afterlife

Can't you see her up in glory
Can't you envision her in a state of heavenly glory

I can see her through the pines
I can picture her in my mind through the pine trees

Back when all us boys were trying
Back when we were all trying to figure things out

To make sense of all these strings
To make sense of all the complex things in life

I can see her in the corner
I can imagine her in the corner of the room

Singing along to all our crazy dreams
Singing along with us as we talked about our wild aspirations

Can't you see her up there, Cody?
Can't you see her up in heaven, Cody?

Saying boys be good
Telling us to be good boys
