Great song. RIP Neil.

It’s not how fast you can go
The force goes into the flow
If you pick up the beat
You can forget about the heat
More than just survival
More than just a flash
More than just a dotted line
More than just a dash
It’s a test of ultimate will
The heartbreak climb uphill
Got to pick up the pace
If you want to stay in the race
More than just blind ambition
More than just simple greed
More than just a finish line
Must feed this burning need —
In the long run…
From first to last
The peak is never passed
Something always fires the light
That gets in your eyes
One moment’s high
And glory rolls on by
Like a streak of lightening
That flashes and fades
In the summer sky
Your meters may overload
You can rest at the side of the road
You can miss a stride
But nobody gets a free ride
More than high performance
More than just a spark
More than just the bottom line
Or a lucky shot in the dark —
In the long run…
You can do a lot in a lifetime
If you don’t burn out too fast
You can make the most of the distance
First you need endurance —
First you’ve got to last…

It was mentioned on the first page, but lazily and without confidence. I think it's the best and most obvious example of a song mentioning running:

"Fire on the Mountain" by the Grateful Dead

Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?
Get up, get out, get out of the door
You're playin' cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down

Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain

Almost ablaze, still you don't feel the heat
It takes all you got just to stay on the beat
You say it's a livin', we all gotta eat
But you're here alone, there's no one to compete
If Mercy's a business, I wish it for you
More than just ashes when your dreams come true

Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain

Long distance runner, what you holdin' out for?
Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door
The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor
You gave all you had, why you wanna give more?
The more that you give, the more it will take
To the thin line beyond, which you really can't fake

Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain

Came to this thread to make sure this song was on here. It's a great song to run to and has an actual connection to running unlike most of the songs posted. The Artist sad this about the song:
"When I was growing up, my older brother was a national class distance runner. As a younger brother, I often found myself just following along with what my older brother got into because that’s just how it works in a family. Your parent/s can only be in one place at one time. So, I ran too. I wasn’t very good at it and I didn’t win very many races but it did make running a part of my life that’s turned into a hobby that I have to this day. My brother’s favorite athlete growing up was Steve Prefontaine, a famous American distance runner for Oregon University and he was known for having one of the gutsiest Olympic performances of all time in the Munich Olympics. I wanted to incorporate Steve Prefontaine into this song as a symbol of strength, guts and resilience. I believe me and my band did it justice."

Run for your life
The man is back in town
So don't you mess me 'round

RUNNIN BY 21 SAVAGE

And wouldn't I run a thousand miles to be with you

The Clash - Police on my Back

Just saw him a second time a couple months ago. If you haven't seen him live, I highly recommend it.

Love by Kendrick Lamar. And Chvrches has a good cover of this too.

"Give me a run for my money. There is nobody, no one to outrun me."
