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

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 listenin' 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 listenin' all night long
for voices from Nashville above

Two characters in search of a country song
Just make believe, but so in love
Two characters been listenin' all night long
For voices from Nashville above
