Two Characters In Search Of A Country Song

you were just like me, you were one big bruise
in the game of life you 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...
