Chesterfield Kings Lyrics
"Ballad Of Bonneville"

On a great dry salt lake many have tried
For the taste of speed now, many have died
Lives have been lost and records were set
Using souped up sickles and a wingless jet
Then a man without wings from California state
He set the record now, for he couldn't wait
Attempts were being made but none so as fast
His records will remain for many years to pass
Ballad of Bonneville
On his second run the test was then met
For the time clocks proved that he was fastest yet
Ballad of Bonneville
