El Cerrito Place Lyrics By Kenny Chesney

    i been hanging round this place i been looking through your space
    i been waiting’ for you i’ve been waiting’ for you
    all the places that you go all the people that you know
    i’ve been looking for you i’ve been looking for you

    and all these pretty people up on el cerrito place
    they all got something in their pockets all got something on their face
    they roll down to la brea where it meets the boulevard
    singing’ hallelujah while they dance over the stars
    they all say they’re going’ far

    me i’ve been looking for you baby i’ve been looking for you baby
    i’ve been looking for you baby i’ve been looking for you baby
    all night long all night long all night long

    someone said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
    so i’ve been out here all night looking for your footprints in the sand
    did you hear the ocean singing baby did you sing along
    while you danced out in the water to some ol’ forgotten song
    were you even here at all

    me i’ve been looking for you baby i’ve been looking for you baby
    i’ve been looking for you baby i’ve been looking for you baby
    all night long all night long all night long

    4
    somehow i wound up in the desert just after daylight
    where the joshua trees grow that little place you always liked
    these pioneer town people ain’t got too much to say
    and if you ever were here baby they ain’t giving’ you away

    5
    now it’s been two days
    i’m still looking for you baby i’ve been looking for you baby
    i’ve been looking for you baby i’ve been looking for you baby
    all night long all night long all night long

    and all these pretty people up on el cerrito place
    they all got something in their pockets all got something on their face

    someone said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
    so i’ve been out here all night looking for your footprints in the sand

    think i’ll go back to the city back to el cerrito place
    that’s the last time that i saw that pretty smile upon your face
    i’ve been looking for you baby
