Joe Ely - Honky Tonk Masquerade lyrics

rate me

You sure look fine tonight, in the beer sign light.

Why did you seem surprised when I saw through your disguise.

All your friends were there and no one had a care.

They all just looked away in this Honky Tonk Masquerade.

You should have known I knew all along.

That I could see through you right or wrong.

I didn't need a clue.

I didn't even have to ask,

You saw your own reflection in the glass.

I'd like to see you home, but I know you're not alone

You seem to fit right in, as you tell me where you've been

You say there's not that much to tell but I know you oh too well

Your eyes give you away in this Honky Tonk Masquerade.

You should have known I knew all along.

That I could see through you right or wrong.

I didn't need a clue.

I didn't even have to ask,

You saw your own reflection in the glass.

You sure look fine tonight, they're turning out the lights

Why did you hold my sleeve when I said I had to leave

I hoped it never showed, but that's the way it goes.

As the lights begin to fade on this Honky Tonk Masquerade.
