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.
