Honky Tonk Masquerade Songtext
von 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.
