Kenny Chesney - El Cerrito Place Lyrics






I been hangin' round this place, I been lookin' through your space
I been waitin' for you, I've been waitin' for you
All the places that you go, all the people that you know
I've been lookin' for you, I've been lookin' for you

And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place
They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face
They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard
Singin' hallelujah while they dance over the stars
They all say they're goin' far

Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' 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 lookin' 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 lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

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 givin' you away

Now it's been two days
I'm still lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' 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 somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face

Someone said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
So I've been out here all night lookin' 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 lookin' for you baby

    Funny thing is that we are usually looking for that thing that we already have but don't miss it till it's gone. The grass isn't always greener. Love that special someone before you lose them. God bless.

    Charlie Robinson's original version is still the best... though Kenny does pretty good.

  22. M.... P....

    I seen KennyChesney at the Mizzou Arena and it was the best concert I have seen in my life! He and the band put on the best show I have ever seen and man does he draw those beautiful women to his concerts I am going to see him again and again because his songs have meaning to me!

    I've been looking for you baby when are u gonna round. I see ur light so brightly, the blue crystal eyes, I've been looking forty baby when u coming around. Its so dark when I can hear you , I'm always looking around. I see ur face everywhere, then I blink and ur not around. You travel through the souls of those who past before you, you bring the sound.
    I'm lookinh for u baby where can u be? The love i hear in ur music is just my heartbeat singing along. When will u find me babe, I've been waiting patiently
    We need to stop the music an hold on tight for one day soon we will have our life....

    Another beauty, this song is one of Kenny's songs that takes me back to Joshua Tree, CA and Oceanside, home.
    My grandson and I just had our first full slow dance to this song, he is one...❤
    Thanks as always to K.C. for doin it right! 🌞 🎶

  42. B.... C....

    Driven that road so many times the last was long ago

  43. B.... W....

    Kenny should have left El Cerrito alone.

  44. D.... R....

    It was not by chance that Nietzsche stated that "without music life would be a mistake. It is necessary to listen to music not only with consumer ears, but with the hearing of the soul.

  45. C.... G....

    God I love this song and it just touches me so much so beautiful !!

  46. N.... D....

    "If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for half a year, Do you suppose," the Walrus said, "That they could get it clear?" "I doubt it," said the Carpenter, And shed a bitter tear.

    🦋As she waited patiently, thoughts of Florabama near. 🦋

  47. J.... B....

  78. T.... M....

    Thanks Keith Gattis, Charlie Robison, and Kenny. When Kenny released this it was like being rehaunted. omg.

  79. r.... k....

    been looking and waiting on her to show up, she showed up, 😘😘

  80. B.... T....

    Still not sure what this song is actually about, but I interpret it as the one he loves has passed away/left him. And he knows where she loved to go, so he goes there to feel close to her, looking for her, hoping to find her again.

    It reminds me of my husband. We live right by the beach, so if I were to ever be lost, I’m sure that’s the first place he’d look. And I’m sure he’d find me “dancing in the water” 😂 Not to mention he’s Mexican, and he’s slowly teaching me Spanish so “el cerrito place” just makes me love this song even more. Such a sweet song that gets sweeter every time I listen to it because it reminds me of the sweetest love I’ve ever known.

    💜🌴

  81. T.... W....

    i just love this song i feel you
