Spirit of America

Lyrics

[Chorus] Spirit of America Spirit of America Spirit of America [Verse 1] The Bonneville salt flats had seen some strange things But the strangest thing yet was a jet without wings Once as a jet, it played in the stars But now on the ground it's the king of our cars [Chorus] Spirit of America Spirit of America Spirit of America Spirit of America [Verse 2] An airplane, an auto, now famous worldwide The Spirit of America, the name on the side The man who would drive her, Craig Breed love by name A daring young man played a dangerous game [Chorus] Spirit of America Spirit of America Spirit of America Spirit of America [Verse 3] With a J-47, a jet for his power Craig Breedlove had averaged four-o-seven per hour Both man and machine had given fair warn' They'd set a new record on that warm August morn' [Chorus] Spirit of America Spirit of America Spirit of America Spirit of America
