    U2 - Running to Stand Still

    I run to a live version from 1993 that leads into Where the Streets Have No Name.

    One Tree Hill - U2

    We run like a river
    Run to the sea
    We run like a river to the sea
    And when it's raining
    Raining hard
    That's when the rain will
    Break my heart

    Heart: "Kick it Out"

    "Out on the street—you better get on home
    tail shaking filly running on her own
    they say she got loose on the night she was born
    cranking it up in a school zone

    "Kick it out—come on, Kick it out," she said
    "kick out your motor and drive
    while you're still alive—kick it out!"
    ....

    ok I have to contribute but neither of my power songs actually have the word "run" in them! I maintain that there is no song better suited to kick starting a run than:

    "Jumpstart" by These Kids Wear Crowns

    We're gonna give it a JUMPSTART
    4,3,2,1 GO.!
    What's up, when we get it going
    No way we're gonna stop.

    and then my favourite for km 30 in a marathon:

    "My Body" by Young the Giant

    My Body tells me no, but I won't quit
    Cause I want more, cause I want more
    My Body tells me no, but I won't quit
    Cause I want more, cause I want more
  • Not sure if it's been said but Rihanna's Pon De Replay is a good one! Good beat and good motivation when it goes

    "Run, run, run, run, everybody run run!"

    I am so ashamed for all of us healthy-person wannabes that no one came up with this one until well down page 3.

    I rememeber one more while I was running Eminem Till I colapse I really enjoy hearing that one expecially towards the 15 min or so of my run

    Verse 2

    Music is like magic there’s a certain feeling you get when you're real
    And you spit and people are feeling your ****.
    This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it
    'cause you may never get it again.
    So while you’re in it try to get as much **** as you can

    And when your run is over just admit when it's at its end.

    'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half this **** that gets in.
    I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
    It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.
    But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy, so when I’m not put on this list the **** does not offend me.
    That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me.
    Even though half you people got a ****ing problem with me.
    You hate it but you know respect you’ve got to give me
    The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me.

    "Smoke and Mirrors"- Lighthouse

    Gotta break out of this place we're in
    Runnin' out of time and out of sin
    We were living smoke and mirrors anyway
    Gonna drive all night 'til we disappear
    Chasing down the miles so far from here
    As the smoke and mirrors start to fade away
    We're still the same...

    "Running just as fast as we can.... Holding onto one another's hands.
    Trying to get away into the night, then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the ground and then we say,

    I THINK WE'RE ALONE NOW! The beating of our hearts is the only so-ound."

    "Marathon" by Rush

    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...

    All right ... here's where y'all laugh me out of here ...

    Runaround Sue by Dion and the Belmonts (whooo???????)

    Here's my story, it's sad but true
    It's about a girl that I once knew
    She took my love, then ran around
    With every single guy in town

    Hayp hayp
    (Whoah ooh)
    Bum da hady hady
    Hayp hayp
    Bum da hady hady
    Hayp hayp
    Bum da hady hady hayp

    I should have known it from the very start
    This girl will leave me with a broken heart
    A-listen people what I'm telling you
    A-keep away from a Run Around Sue

    I miss her lips and the smile on her face
    The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
    So if you don't wanna cry like I do
    A-keep away from a Run Around Sue

    (Whoah ooh)
    Hayp hayp
    Bum da hady hady
    Hayp hayp
    Bum da hady hady
    Hayp hayp
    Bum da hady hady hayp oh

    She likes to travel around
    She'll love you but she'll put you down
    Now people let me put you wise
    Sue goes out with other guys

    Here's the moral and the story
    From the guy who knows
    I fell in love and my love still grows
    Ask any fool that she ever knew
    They'll say, keep away from a Run Around Sue

    Yeah, keep away from this girl
    I don't know what she'll do
    Keep away from Sue

    She likes to travel around
    She'll love you but she'll put you down
    Now people let me put you wise
    A she goes out with other guys

    Here's the moral and the story
    From the guy who knows
    I fell in love and my love still grows
    Ask any fool that she ever knew
    They'll say, a keep away from a Run Around Sue

    Stay away from that girl
    Don't you know what she'll do now?
    Whoah..
