Lyrics:

Track #5 on 1994’s The Charm of the Highway Strip, the third studio album by The Magnetic Fields.
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

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

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 listening 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 listening all night long
For voices from Nashville above
