Honky Tonk Masquerade Lyrics


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, no one had a care
They all just looked away in this honky tonk masqueradeYou 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 glassI'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 masqueradeYou should have known I knew all along
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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Shortly after high school, in 1970, with fellow Lubbock musicians Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock, he formed The Flatlanders. According to Ely, "Jimmie was like a well of country music. He knew everything about it. And Butch was from the folk world. I was kinda the rock & roll guy, and we almost had a triad. We hit it off and started playing a lot together.
