He left his Mercedes Benz, a ruby red from ‘64

We’d wipe that hood clean and push the pedal to the floor

Last night we went out driving to see the fields my grandpa sweat

Those South Dakota summers just get harder to forget

Run, engine, run

Keep turning ‘till the day is done

Run, engine, run

For the man who asked for none

He won her at an auction just a couple months before
Bb F C
It seemed he gave away everything he saved up to afford

He wore a cowboy hat, a pearl snap shirt

Got up real early for his daily work
Bb F C
He was tied to a tradition from a long time ago
[Chorus]
F Bb
Run, engine, run
F C
Keep turning ‘till the day is done

Run, engine, run

For the man who asked for none

F C
I was sixteen, riding shotgun, it was he, my brother, and I
Bb F C
Along Black Hills gold, the prairie cold, he looked up at the sky
F C
We took the four wheels for a test ride to the Prairie House restaurant
Bb F C
He called the waitress over and joked, “Surprise me with whatever you’d want”
[Chorus]

Run, engine, run

Keep turning ‘till the day is done

Run, engine, run
F C
For the man who asked for none
[Outro]

Who asked for none
Bb F
Who asked for none
Bb F
Who asked for none
