Lyrics

Bedford, Texas
Words and Music: Mark David Manders

I met her out dancing at a bar down in Dallas
I borrowed money to get in the door
I asked her her name and she replied, “Alice”
As I led her out on the floor
Well we danced half the night; she was getting kind of tight
Drinkin’ margaritas from the bar
But I never thought I’d hit the jackpot
‘Til she lost the keys to her car
And she said “Take me to Bedford, Texas”
My face lit up with a smile
Let’s go to Bedford, Texas
And we’ll stay in Bedford a while
I guess she could tell by the look in my eyes
Shre caught me a little off guard
But that ain’t nuthin’ compared to the surprise
She gave me in her front yard
Well, we kissed half the night, she was feeling alright
I felt pretty good too
And she said with a grin as she invited me in
“It’s breakfast in bed for you”
And I said “Take me to Bedford, Texas”
Her face lit up with a smile
Let’s go to Bedford, Texas
And we’ll stay in Bedford a while
Now the years have passed since I first met Alice
I moved to Bedford year
Alice got married to a DJ from Denver
But I was content to stay here
But don’t be concerned ‘cause the lesson I learned
Is worth passin’ on to my friends
If she offers you breakfast in Bedford, Texas
You’d best go to Denny’s instead
And she said “Take me to Bedford, Texas”
My face lit up with a smile
Let’s go to Bedford, Texas
And we’ll stay in Bedford a while
