Christie Road

Song byGreen Day
in AlbumKerplunk!

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...

About this Song

Christie Road by Green Day is a song about seeking solace and comfort in a specific place during times of feeling lost or troubled. The song is reflective of teenage angst and the need for a personal sanctuary away from life's pressures. Key themes include escapism, a longing for freedom, and finding a sense of belonging. Particularly poignant moments in the song occur when the lyrics express a sense of peace found in the simplicity of just being outside and away from daily struggles.
