Green Day - Christie Road Lyrics






Staring out of my window
Watching the cars go rolling by
My friends are gone
I've got nothing to do
So I sit here patiently
Watching the clock tick so slowly
Gotta get away
Or my brains will explode

Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road

See the hills from afar
Standing on my beat up car
The sun went down and the night fills the sky
Now I feel like me once again
As the train comes rolling in
Smoked my boredom gone
Slapped my brains up so high

Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road

Mother stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road

Mother stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road

If there's one thing that I need
That makes me feel complete
So I go to Christie Road
It's home...

Green Day Christie Road Comments
  1. J.... L....

    Does Green Day still perform Kerplunk songs, live?
    I cheated on my boyfriend, one year, with a dude that loved green day, and kind of reminded me of Billie Joe. The dude ended up giving me a Kerplunk CD. If I never cheated, I would have never found out about Kerplunk, and how awesome green day was even before Dookie came out .
    Ok..enough confessions tonight! LOL

  2. B.... J....

    Just realized this song is about Meth.
    Am I that stupid ??? It took me 25 years .

  3. B.... H....

    Now I feel like me once again..."

  4. r.... w....

    5 januari 2020

  5. C.... ....

    Awesome album to tweek to Believe me I do trust him when he’s driving around with his friend ~ Julie to Christy

  6. R.... R....

    Kerplunk,Doookie it;s punk rock history clasic.. for my person it's a sentiment..old really punk rock ...old remember

  7. M.... H....

    best kerplunk song

  8. D.... B....

    Billy Joe Armstrong was a better songwriter than most people give him credit for . Sure you can write off the whole genre of pop punk as merely adolescent cheese but he does a very good job at expressing these universal feelings of teenagers , too bad rock music is not very popular or culturally relevant at the moment .. but stuff like this needs a comeback ..... Gold Teeth and Fake chains does not represent me .. When i was still young this music did

  9. C.... R....

    This would have made a great 3rd single, if this album did singles back then.

  10. c.... ....

    I found this tape at a record store in Monroeville Mall randomly (I'm not even from there) before anybody knew who Green Day was.
    I don't know why I bought it, it just looked cool.
    Played it on the drive home and was blown away.

  11. C.... ....

    This is how it felt like when there was no instagram and youtube

  12. D.... M....

    I do/did the same thing for years, hung out at Christie Rd., smoke a little, wait for & watch the trains as the afternoon slowly turned to night out there in the oak tree & grassy hilled countryside off Highway 4. Just me, the cows, & the occasional freight train. Only recently did I learn about this song. So I think this is very cool. One of the ranches has been converted to an open space park a couple years ago so you can walk up into the hills, but be careful of ticks!

  13. R.... P....

    Hanging out with the boys... It is 11pm, we are sitting close to some railways drinking some beer and listening to the music from the clubs nearby... Good ol' times back then

  14. t.... ....

    2:03 smells like teen spirit

  15. e.... a....

    Pure garbage

  16. I.... a....

    I'm younger than most people here, but I still grew up on this album.

  17. 8.... ....

    i was born in 1991 mawfukas and im listening to this song ! \m/ , my mom used to listen to greenday in the 80s , and i got aholda her casset tapes of DOOKIE greenday when i was 5 years old and been hooked since !

  18. n.... t....

    We used to cover this spin back in the mid 90’s. those days were all about skat’in, partying, girls and music. Fucking miss those days.

  19. N.... G....

    everyone thinks dookie is green days first album.

    N.... G....

    When its actually 39/Smooth. Technically there are some eps from when they were sweet children but I haven't been able to find them to listen to.

  20. D.... J....

    Old times. Fun times.

    D.... J....

    Yeah...

  21. T.... ....

    Green Day fan from Kuwait 🇰🇼

    T.... ....

    And Ukraine :)

  22. M.... C....

    This will always be the best Green Day song to me.

  23. E.... C....

    We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road

  24. R.... M....

    Listening from 2019... i love green day..

    R.... M....

    know that feeling

  25. T.... O....

    the best song !!!

  26. R.... ....

    I'm no longer much of a green day fan anymore as I used to be, but this song is still great

  27. i.... Z....

    Wow in the newer live version he's way better

  28. V.... S....

    Music is my religion

  29. F.... I....

    Got this CD for $5 out of curiosity after dookie became popular. Money well spent. By far my favorite green day CD.

  30. Z.... R....

    Green Day and Offspring early 90s

  31. G.... W....

    will always remind me of one of my first hangovers, aged 15

  32. F.... T....

    Kerplunk is the illmatic of punk music

  33. G.... P....

    Q T ouvir isso, nesse mundo de hoje!

  34. T.... b....

    Only true green day fans

    T.... b....

    Unless it's a fan who's new. When I first got into green day it took me like four months to even find Longview (mainly because I was using YouTube) but hey, you never know.

    T.... b....

    The best drug Is music agreed and I fucking love this song and young Billie Joe.

    T.... b....

    Does Green Day still perform Kerplunk songs, live?
    I cheated on my boyfriend, one year, with a dude that loved green day, and kind of reminded me of Billie Joe. The dude ended up giving me a Kerplunk CD. I played that CD probably 100 times in my car! If I never cheated, I would have never found out about Kerplunk, and how awesome green day was even before Dookie came out . I eventually had to break up with the boyfriend..lol. He is happily married today.
    Ok..enough confessions tonight! LOL

    T.... b....

    Jenny Lee girl eye-

  35. F.... M....

    Best song of the album

  36. M.... ....

    i born in the wrong generation,i love this album and others from GD and more bands from the 90's or 80's,70's and 60's,the music of today is totally crap!

  37. _.... _....

    LOVE THIS ONE

  38. M.... S....

    music is subjective...but not greenday

  39. K.... H....

    If you like smells like teens spirit, go listen to it go away man don’t break the mood we’re having fun here

  40. o.... 1....

    The breakdown part always gives me this crazy feeling. Its just something about billies voice or the melody just gives me goosebumps!!!!! Also i love how all the old green day albums are about growing up and becoming an adult. Something that we can all relate to.

  41. P.... V....

    Im just here cause Adam the Woo talked about it in his last video.

  42. t.... j....

    Great excellent

  43. E.... D....

    Hands down!! They're best album. Dookie is simply a polished version of this.

  44. S.... J....

    Omg I understand what he is singing, how did that happen 😂?

  45. T.... D....

    Best song from Kerplunk.

  46. G.... D....

    Brain going into nostalgic meltdown..

  47. A.... O....

    2:04 Sounds like nirvana

  48. O.... ....

    Reminds me of Nirvana somehow...

    O.... ....

    this was released before Smells Like Teen Spirit, they even played it live before that song came out, yes and the riff sounds somewhat the same later in the song

  49. a.... m....

    My favourite green day album is it doesn’t matter what i say because who the fuck cares BUT it sure as hell isnt 39/ Smooth because for fucks sake it objectively sucks. Warning is my favourite bye

  50. G.... T....

    The amount of mids is amazing.

  51. D.... D....

    Take me to that place that I call home

  52. A.... G....

    i would give up anything for being born at that generation

  53. H.... K....

    from 2:03 it's sounds like nirvana........smells like you know.........

    H.... K....

    - SlothYnDash A little bit.

    Green Day is timeless. One of the only bands which keep on making awesome music

  74. N.... H....

    soda stereo-de musica ligera sounds like the guitar at this

  75. R.... ....

    What is up with the comments? Like every second is like "my generation is shit" or "Green Day nowadays sucks". Just listen to the damn Song and let People hear what they want.

    Z.... ....

    @C R The first recording of Teen Spirit came out in like 89 or 90

    Z.... ....

    Z.... ....

    @C R it was like like late 1990, he had recorded a demo of it on one of his aunt's devices.

    Z.... ....

  91. S.... ....

    This song was wrote for his first girlfriend Erica Paleno.. Christie Road is where the couple would sneak out to and meet at.

    S.... ....

    S.... ....

    S.... ....
