Two Characters In Search Of A Country Song Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

You were just like me, you were one big bruise 

In the game of life we were playing too lose 

You were Jesse James, I was William Tell 

You were Daniel Webster, I was the devil himself 

Two characters in search of a country song 

Just make believe but so in love 

Two characters been listin' all night long 

For voices from Nashville above 

Hell on eighteen wheels at a hundred per 

We went crashing through the Jersey barrier 

But the road went on over dale and hill 

You were Calamity Jane and I was Wild Bill 

Two characters in search of a country song 

Just make believe but so in love 

Two characters been listin' all night long 

For voices from Nashville above
