Spirit Of America lyrics by The Beach Boys

Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America

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

Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America

An airplane an 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

Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America

With a J forty seven,
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

Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
Spirit of America
