Lyrics for Two Characters in Search of a Country Song

You were just like me You were one big bruise In the game of life with your 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
