Started off the day with a thought
That took me far away
I think I found a place
Where I know I can be forever

It's down in San Miguel
Could be in Mexico
Where you don't need no dough
I know I'm gonna go

Lookin' for the ladies of love

I go where I'm going
Goin' straight ahead
Down in to San Miguel
Over the top
We cross the border now
Headin' in to San Miguel

That's where I'm gonna go
(lookin for lookin for lookin' for a lady)
Hope you will be comin' too
You can kick off your shoes
Come on it's time to go

Lookin' for the ladies of love

Ow ow

Yiyiyiyiyiyi

It's down in San Miguel
(Lookin for lookin for lookin for a lady)
Could be in Mexico
Where you don't need no dough
I know I'm gonna go

Lookin' for the ladies of love

La la la la

Carl could've sung the phone book and it would have sounded great.

There was a camping spot just north of Ensenada called San Miguel...we used to go there in the 60s...one year in 1967, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was set up there...along with alot of surfers from Whitter, Santa Ana, Anaheim...Was this the San Miguel in the song?

"Dennis was probably more musically with it than me or any of other guys in the whole band; he was one of the best singers and he wrote really good music... I never dreamed, when I used to know him as a kid when we were brothers, I never dreamed he would grow up to be a great person in music...He wrote FOREVER, he wrote SAN MIGUEL...He wrote some wonderful songs." (Brian Wilson, 2007)

i always thought it was "started off the day with a puff..."...that works just as well

[alexandertarangerkin]

why didnt this make the sunflower album?? i mean most the tracks were skrapped apart from 'add some music' but this was certainly just as good as most of the others?

@Wolfsky9 When was this one written? First appeared on a compilation album!?

Nice one anyway. Spain and Phillipines still argue about this beer name!

There Are two towns Named San Miguel in Central Mexico: One is "San Miguel de Allende" in the state of Gunajuato and the other is "San Miguel el Alto" in the state of Jalisco.
