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

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

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.
