Just Like Jim Brown

Just Like Jim Brown (She Is History)

She walked away just like Jim Brown
When he laid that football down
And walked away because he could
All the way to Hollywood
She walked away so sure and fast
Into her future
Into my past
Just like I should have known she would
It was just too true to be good

She is history; let her go
We are all in this together
We are all in this alone

An axle spins this world around
Rolling over rocky ground
No shock absorbers on that wheel
For us to ease the way it feels

She really caught me off my guard
Sometimes those bumps can hit you hard
No shock absorbers on that wheel
At least this way you know it's real

She is history; let her go
We are all in this together
We are all in this alone

Jim Brown was something that's a fact
The all-time greatest running back
But Jim knew something fools don't know
He knew when it was time to go
