Lyrics

Staring out of my window
Watching the cars go rolling by
My friends are gone
I've got nothing to do
					(Verse 1)
So I sit here patiently
Watching the clock tick so slowly
Gotta get away
Or my head will explode

Give me something to do
To kill some time
Take me to that place
That I call home			(Chorus)
Take away the strains
Of being lonely
Take me to the tracks
On Christie Road

See the hills from afar
Standin on my beat-up car
The sun went down
And the might fills the sky
					(Verse 2)
Now I feel like me once again
As the train comes rollin in
Smoked my boredom gone
Slapped my brains up so high

(Chorus)
(Bridge)

Mother stay out of my way
Of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way
To Christie Road
(x2)					(Interlude)
If there's one thing that I need
That makes me feel complete
So I go to Christie Road
It's home
It's home

(Bridge) (repeat "It's home")
