Songs About Running
I work part-time in a running store. I keep thinking it would be nice to have a playlist of songs about running playing. Help a guy out?
Here are some that come to my mind:
I Run For Life - Melissa Etheridge
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Running On Empty - Jackson Browne
Little Runaway - Del Shannon
Band on the Run - McCartney & Wings
Nowhere to Run - Martha & the Vandellas
Run For Your Life - The Beatles
Run To You - Bryan Adams
Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty
The Long Run - The Eagles
It Keeps You Runnin' - The Doobie Brothers
It helps if the song is actually easy to run to, but that isn't the key metric.

You call it jogging,
I call it running around.
Mose Allison and others.
Here's Jimmy Buffet's version-

Silent Running by Mike and the Mechanics although I do not think " running ", is actually the true meaning of said song.

In track I would pace myself.....
In track I would pace myself by running to the beat with songs running through my head. But they weren't specifically about running, just what had a strong beat at the right tempo.
