Two Characters In Search Of A Country Song lyrics

Song information

Artist: The Magnetic Fields
Album: The Charm Of The Highway Strip

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
