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
