Stephin Merritt - Two Characters in Search of a Country Song lyrics

[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 2x]
