Song: How I Found You

My neighbors and I were talking and she made the comment that her husband always had to have the best of everything. She said, "Look at his mower, look at his golf clubs, look at everything he has, he always has to have the best of everything." After hearing this I replied: "Well, what does that say about you, he picked you didn't he?" I came up with this song after the conversation we had. Hope you enjoy!

How I Found You
by Jim Jenkins

I have learned a life lesson over the years

that to get what you want you must pay.

Buy better things, they last and won’t break;

is what most of the people would say.


To get things I wanted, I checked it all out;

if you buy the best, what's said is so true.

When shopping, you’ll get what you pay for;

and darling, that’s how I got you.


I haggled, I bartered, I traded and hunted,

for just what I wanted in life

I’m not sorry I looked for the best things

that’s how I found you; my wife


I have friends who tried to choose bargains;

the way things turned out was a shame.

The cheap things they chose got fragile with time

and I saw what their lives became.


So please don’t second-guess me;

When I always want to choose the best

for in choosing the best I chose you dear

and for that I will always be blessed.


I haggled, I bartered, I traded and hunted,

for just what I wanted in life

I’m not sorry I looked for the best things

that’s how I found you; my wife

the best choice I made in my life.
