This song doesn't have the word RUN in it, but Moon Baby by Godsmack is a great pre-run song. First because it f***in moves at a fast tempo, but secondly because there is a section of the song where in the background you here "tolerance.. tolerance of pain.. tolernece of pain..." over and over. That is the essence of distance running.
"You can't run the race, the pace is to fast, your not going to last"

Flock of Seagulls - I Ran So Far Away
And I ran.
I ran so far away.
I just ran.
I ran all night and day.
I couldn't get away.
runnin' on empty by Jackson Brown
Runner- Manfred Mann
Through the night...through the dawn,
Behind you another runner is born.
Don't look back, you've been there.
See the mist as your breath hits the air.
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum.
Through the night...through the dawn,
Behind you another runner is born.
Don't look back, you've been there.
Feel the mist as your breath hits the air.
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum.
And you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky.
And you will surely cross the line, to pass on the flame.
Sun come up...sun go down.
Hear the beat, see the sweat on the ground.
Watch your step, keep your cool,
Though you can't see what's in front of you.
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum.
And you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky.
And you will surely cross the line, to pass on the flame, pass on the flame.
Through the night...through the dawn,
Behind you another runner is born.
Don't look back, you've been there.
Feel the mist as your breath hits the air.
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum.
And you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky.
And you will surely cross the line.
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum.
And you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky.
And you will surely cross the line.
though mentioning running away and race etc doesnt mean its about running...metaphor?
Pink Floyd tunes have several references. "no one tole you when to run.....you missed the starting gun".
Running on Empty..J Browne
In the Long Run..Eagles
Takin it to the streets..Doobies
"life ain't a track meet... it's a marathon"
Ice Cube
Born to run - Springstein
Running down a dream - Petty
I'll think of some more
How about Al Stewart's "Love Chronicles"...
...and at school, would you believe ?
Three hundred boys and no girls at all
But you're a fool, if you should leave
Just think of the joys of rugby football
And prep in the morning and brylcream and acne
And cross-country running to kill evil thoughts
I'm surprised that I survived
I ran 10000 miles with my back to the wall....
From Pink Floyd's THE WALL
"You Better Run"
i think i remember the lyrics "Long distance runner, what you standing there for? Get up, get out the door" or something along those lines in a Greatful Dead song "Fire on the Mountain"
correct me if im wrong, i'm too lazy to look it up
Runin' With The Devil - VanHalen
"running with the shadows of the night"

"running with the night, playing in the shadows"

"You Better Run"
You’d better run all day
and run all night
and keep your guilty feelings
deep inside
And if you take your girlfriend
out tonight
you’d better park your car
well out of sight
Cause if they catch you in the backseat trying to pick her lock
they’re gonna send you home to mother in a cardboard box
YOU BETTER RUN

sweeet, great horror song
Then there's "The Distance" by Cake, which is about auto racing, in a way, but runners seem to love it anyway.
The Pink Floyd song is called "Run Like Hell." Actually, there is a "You Better Run" by the Rascals. There are tons of "run" songs. There's also "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush and "Run, Run, Run" by The Who and even something called "The Heroes of Track and Field" by Belle & Sebastian.
