Two Characters in Search of a Country Song The Magnetic Fields

[Verse 1]
You were just like me, you were one big bruise
In the game of life we were playing to lose
You were Jesse James, I was William Tell
You were Daniel Webster, I was the Devil himself

[Chorus]
Two characters in search of a country song
Just make-believe, but so in love
Two characters been listening all night long
For voices from Nashville above

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Two characters in search of a country song
Just make-believe, but so in love
Two characters been listening all night long
For voices from Nashville above

[Break]
