Two Characters In Search Of A Country Song Lyrics
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...
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
Just make-believe but so in love
Two characters been listening all night long
For voices from Nashville above
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...

"at a hundred per" is such a beautiful contraction.
i believe that the title of this song is a direct reference to luigi pirandello's play, "six characters in search of an author."
