Fastest man alive song lyrics

Well, I come from West Virginia and the day that I was born
I hit the ground a' runnin like the 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
When I got to California I joined up with Uncle Sam
Said I come to whip the Nazis, I'm a mighty, mighty man
Well, they couldn't hold me down and so they taught me how to fly
And they shipped me 'cross the ocean, I'm the fastest man alive

My name is Charles Elwood Yeager, everybody calls me Chuck
I'm a' born stick and rudder mother brother sure enough
I was all that they could handle till they shot me down in France
Then I swam across the channel just to get another chance
And when the war was over pinned a medal on my chest
And they sent me to an airfield in the desert way out west
Said son, we got an airplane everybody's scared to fly
I said bubba, let me at her, I'm the fastest man alive

Well, she looked like she was flyin' 'fore she ever left the ground
So we strapped her to a bomber and we took a spin around
I said boys, we'll call her Glynis, she's the one I love the best
What you say we put her areodynamics to the test
We were high above the desert when they let that sucker drop
When we lit that roman candle, boys you shoulda heard her pop
And it shook the mighty mountains when we crossed that sonic line
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 if I ain't
I'm the rumble in the thunder, I'm the bolt out of the blue
I'm a master of the stratosphere, a pilot tried and true
My name is Charles Elwood Yeager, I been everywhere
Paris, London, Timbuktu, and Dover Delaware
Ended up in California and that's where I'm gonna die
But I come from West Virginia, I'm the fastest man alive
