Honky Tonk Masquerade - Joe Ely

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
