Honky Tonk Masquerade by Joe Ely Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
