Fastest Man Alive

Well I come from West Virginia
And the day that I was born
Hit the ground running
Like a wind and I was gone
I was faster than a rabbit
And I left the deer behind
And the mountains couldn't hold me
So I headed down the line
Got to Califonia and joined up with Uncle Sam
Said "I've come to halt the Nazi's
I'm a mighty mighty man"
They couldn't hold me down
So they taught me how to fly
Then they shipped me 'cross the ocean
Now I'm the fastest man alive

My name's Charles Elwood Yeager
Everybody called me Chuck
I'm a (?)
I was all that they could handle
'Til they shot me down in France
Then I swam across the Channel
Just to get another chance
When the war was over
Pinned a medal on my chest
Then sent me to an airfield
In the desert way out west
Said "Someone got an airplane
Everybody's scared to fly"
Said "Bubba let me at her"
I'm the fastest man alive

Well she looked like she was flying
'Fore she ever left the ground
So we strapped to her to a bomber
And we took a spin around
Said "Boys all call her Glennis
She's a (?)
What you say we put her aerodynamics to a test?"
We were high above the desert
When we let the sucker drop
When we lifted up the handle boy
You should've heard her pop
(?)
Seven hundred miles an hour
I'm the fastest man alive

I'm a lover, I'm a fighter
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I'm a mover, I'm a shaker
Ask your mother, and aunt
I'm the rumble with the thunder
I'm the bolt out of the blue
I'm the master of the stratosphere
A pilot tried and true
My name's Charles Elwood Yeager
And I've been everywhere
Paris, London, Timbuktu
And Bethel, Delaware
Ended up in California
That's where I'm gonna die
I come from West Virgina
I'm the fastest man alive

I'm the fastest man alive
The fastest man alive
The fastest man alive
