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 with your playing too lose

You were Jessy 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 in 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

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
