The Beach Boys
[Intro] [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 all cars [Chorus] Spirit of America Spirit of America Spirit of America Spirit of America [Verse 2] Half airplane half auto now famous worldwide The Spirit of America the name on the side The man who would drive her Craig Breedlove 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
