[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
