Billie Joe Armstrong - Kentucky Lyrics






Kentucky
You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me
Kentucky
I miss your laurel and your redbud trees

When I die,
I want to rest upon a graceful mountain so high
For that is
Where God will look for me

Kentucky
I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky
I miss the hound dogs chasin’ coons

I know that
My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me
Kentucky
I will be coming soon
Kentucky

  3. D.... K....

    I'm wondering right now, can Billie rap?

  4. M.... ....

    SUCKKKKKK!!!! MUSIC OF REHABILITATION OF DRUGS!!!

  5. A.... C....

    Where in the bluegrass hell is this place? Because that is NOT KY. I'm in KY. I know.

  6. S.... M....

  11. K.... S....

    Happy Birthday, Billie Joe.

  12. C.... C....

    Can somebody please produce a video that actually makes sense? I’m a native Kentuckian. I sure do miss the beaches there!😂

  13. I.... C....

    Billie is so versatile, his voice is heaven 😍

  14. K.... D....

    Billie has sang Punk, Rock, Pop, Metal, Country, Ska, Jazz, Surf Rock, Folk, and Rap. Hes so versatile I wouldnt be surprised if he made a tuvan throat singing album.

  15. E.... B....

    What in the name of all that is sacred does Kentucky have to do with surfing?

  16. M.... M....

    Cartomancy +55 41 99155-4408

  17. T.... ....

    Check me out, new artist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owkbMFhNzl4&t=29s

  18. X.... D....

    Please go back to punk I beg of you

  19. R.... ....

    Singing about Kentucky but showing them surfing in California, WTF?

  20. C.... L....

    this made me cry

  21. P.... ....

    This video makes NO sense. I'm from Kentucky and I live in California. If anyone could see the connection, I'd say it'd be me. There just IS no connection. Laurent Truillet is absolutely right: "This clip is ridiculous!" Good song though. Well done by a couple of extremely talented artists with a genuine appreciation for the Everly Brothers.

  22. j.... ....

    I has no idea Billie Joe could sing like this.

  23. A.... ....

    Beautiful song !!!

  24. J.... R....

    My opinion, Best in Everly version I have heard, their Album was a great tribute to the Everly Brothers. One thing about the surfing I noticed one of them was surfing with the board the other way around 😊🎸

  25. r.... ....

    I like this so much for me sweeter than the Everly's nothing beats a woman's voice and a male togther. Nice

  26. M.... G....

    Kentucky Fried Chicken?

    M.... G....

    Yes , Kentucky Fried Chicken . Yk , the meal you can't wait to eat every time you go out of town . 😂

    M.... G....

    Iana 30 Lmao

    M.... G....

    Kfc 😂😂😂😂

    M.... G....

    hahahahahaha

  27. P.... D....

    yeaaah hard punk in my boneees! lml

  28. l.... s....

    Kentuckians live and surf in California and get homesick for Kentucky.

  29. P.... R....

    I have never seen people surfing in Kentucky




    explain

    P.... R....

    Hi XD

    P.... R....

    Its terrible. I'm crying over here.

    P.... R....

    I know, I know. My ears have been destroyed too

    P.... R....

    P.... R....

  30. T.... K....

  34. M.... M....

    God Bless America ......

  35. y.... ....

    Kocham ten numer. Ale montaż gorzej niż chujowy.

  36. F.... A....

    Yeah, Kentucky is world known for surf beaches... And Cal for the country and horses. Is it actually her surfing ? Maybe they just wanted to show off how good they are at that.

  37. C.... A....

    This is the weirdest music video i ever watch, nothing felt like Kentucky,

    C.... A....

    i think they are supposed to be homesick.

    C.... A....

    They don't look homesick to me

  38. R.... S....

    I miss Green Day

    R.... S....

    Bet you're excited now

    R.... S....

    I was supposed to fucking see the Toronto concert....... It got cancelled...... >__<

  39. d.... N....

    oh, Billie <3

  40. G.... S....

    Praise the Everly Bros!  Thanks

  41. A.... H....

    I don't see what the big deal is. Those are obviously waves created by the pontoon boats on Dewey Lake.

  42. J.... ....

    A beautiful pairing.....

  43. i.... B....

    Uhhh Surfing.... my life wish...

  44. A.... J....

    awesome video

  45. J.... S....

    romantic ever..

  46. A.... F....

    If you look closely, you can see that this video was not filmed in Kentucky.

    A.... F....

    Oh. My. God. People! We've made a breakthrough! This ISNT filmed in Kentucky. So where is it in then?

  47. D.... ....

    Billie Joe us one of the most versatile artists out there right now.

    D.... ....

    Punk rock to country. Man what a range.

  48. R.... D....

    Kentucky there are no beaches in Kentucky.

    R.... D....

    Well this to me shows another side of billy Joe, and how he can sing different styles, I was actually pretty surprised when I heard this was him

    R.... D....

    +iowa chapman SORRY FOR FREAKING OUT BUT IT'S BILLIE NOT BILLY

    R.... D....

    @Blurryfaceisnotonfire doh yeah hand to forehead 😀

    R.... D....

    Allez pas croire que le Kentucky c'est aussi beau que sur la vidéo hehehe

    R.... D....

    There's evil turtles and guys with squirrel pelts on their heads though.

  49. A.... C....

    Billie joe can sing absolutely anything, love it!!!!

  50. E.... s....

    Kentucky tiene playas??'

  51. K.... G....

    yujvmmhmk

  52. G.... C....

    que lindo :'(

  53. l.... ....

    I really love this song, and after watching this beautiful and evocative video, I love it even more. Billie Joe's and Norah's voices sound incredible together!

  54. E.... ....

    His voice is utter heaven

    E.... ....

    Ya, her's, too!

  55. J.... G....

    I dont get it?

    J.... G....

    you can it

  56. S.... A....

    They forgot to mention Daniel Boone, horses, and fried chicken. Those are kind of major things here.

    S.... A....

    Actually it's more accurately bourbon, basketball, and then horses.

  57. m.... ....

    Great song....but what does the video have to do with Kentucky?

  58. d.... ....

    Billie Joe sounds kind of like Buddy Holly in this...

  59. J.... H....

    Woo Kentucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  60. K.... F....

    we would appreciate it if you could #fracking  do something to stop fracking...your fans are dying  RIP Christian Ibarra

  61. K.... ....

    Can't believe it. He can sing all kind of music very well. Talented <3 love his voice

  62. J.... S....

    ? we don't have surfing in ky? lol

  63. P.... ....

    And Green Day?

  64. r.... b....

    Me: a billie
    billie: yes
    me: what the fuck are you doing?

    r.... b....

    being a versatile artist. and making it work

    r.... b....

    ross black ross black doing what he wants, exploring genres he loves, taking risks, taking chances, trying new things and doing a damn good job of it

  65. S.... F....

    It would've been better had Billie all of a sudden had to fight and overcome a monstrous catfish......eat it.  I can see that in Ky.  Not surfin.  

  66. P.... S....

    Awesome. I love how the video makes Colin seem calm. :-p

  67. J.... K....

    This is paradise

  68. S.... I....

    Song's ok. Vid sucks so bad it ain't funny, KY is my home state, and images from it would be far more beautiful than this non stop repetitive wave action. Waves.... wtf?

  69. D.... J....

    I'm from Kentucky and pretty sure there is no body of water with waves. WTF? They could have done so much with Bluegrass, mountains, rivers...etc. Why this? 

  70. d.... J....

    soooo.... why not film it in fuckin kentucky??? ain't no surfing here, lol

  71. m.... w....

    Billie You are the most talented musician of all times .Billie you are the best Wat ever u do u will be the best no matter what your band"Green Day''  will be the greates rock band in the world.

  72. C.... R....

    To all of those questioning the video of the song, heres a link to a slideshow where they describe what they were doing. Thumbs up this so it stays at the top and people see it and quit asking annoying questions...http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/surfing-kentucky_107366/

    C.... R....

    That still doesn't make sense. "I've never been to Kentucky - it just reminded me of the ocean." That right there says how stupid of an idea it is. Just because it "made sense" to do it in California to one person (a few people? Doesn't even say who's talking) doesn't mean it makes sense to literally anybody else. There was no reasoning there other than it "felt right" to the people they asked to make the video. Good for them but it doesn't feel right to anybody else. It's not a bad video, but it's an awful video for THIS song.

  73. S.... K....

    Nice video and music!!! :)

  74. L.... C....

    since they did a song about kentucky shouldn't they have showed some of kentucky instead of california...just sayin'

  75. b.... ....

    Check out the original by The Blue Sky Boys. It's on youtube.

  76. B.... A....

    I live in Kentucky and was excited to see two musicians I love sing about it and hopefully see some clips of our state. This is not Kentucky. I mean, I'm not prideful about my state but this is kind of silly. And a letdown. Great song though! But whoever made this video has either never seen a map or thought everyone from Kentucky was too 1800's to use a computer to find this.

  77. A.... L....

    Ummm Did they not realize Kentucky is landlocked?

  78. m.... ....

    I wasn't a fan when I first heard this album but it really grew on me fast!

  79. a.... v....

    booooring

  80. T.... S....

    perfect!

  81. �.... �....

    Good to relax...!!!
    НУ ВОТ НЕ ПОМЕШАЕТ - ТОЧНО НЕ ПОМЕШАЕТ...

  82. R.... M....

    QUE DELÍCIA...

  83. r.... ....

    Amazing, such velvet voice of Norah

  84. K.... T....

    The song is beautiful.  The scenes are beautiful.  But I don't get why they are together on this video.  An equally beautiful video could have been shot in the amazing state of Kentucky, where there are mountains, lakes, rivers, sweet little towns and more.  That's what the composer, Karl Davis, wrote about.

  85. c.... ....

    I don't know everything about the great state of Kentucky, but I had no idea they had a beach.....and an ocean......lol

  86. E.... W....

    This is a song about Kentucky not surfing. I very bad video. The footage has nothing to do with the song at all.

  87. T.... W....

    Guess they didn't realize that Kentucky doesn't have surfing.  Stupid video!

  88. R.... T....

    Nora Jones has a cute Butt 
    http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m620/Russell_Tayler/NoraJones_zpsd1718653.png

    R.... T....

    That's not Nora in the video...

  89. A.... H....

    Because nothing says Kentucky like surfing.   ??

  90. O.... G....

    Nice, but on this, Billie Joe Armstrong is not suitable in this Genre

    O.... G....

    I completely disagree.

    O.... G....

    Generic Name me either

    O.... G....

    Omar Garibay he's perfect. He does an amazing job

  91. y.... n....

    Relaxing moment

  92. D.... M....

    Does anyone else notice that tre's daughter Ramona is in this 😱😱😱😱

  93. D.... M....

    Although the song takes us to another spot, it is nice.

  94. S.... A....

    I love this song....I love Norah Jones....My mom is from KY and I spent a lot a time there growing up.  The video and song don't fit.  Missed it on this one....

  95. e.... n....

    Adorei!!

  96. V.... S....

    Wowgreat song !!!
