"Run" songs

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

Arcade Fire- Keep the Car Running

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

I Run for Life Melissa Etheridge

I Run for Life Melissa Etheridge

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.

Hurts So GOod by John Mellencamp!

Can you tell I just searched on my iTunes playlist for the word run?!

i rarely run with music, but jay-z & kanye west "n**gas in paris" the song has the most perfect beat for running. i think i hit repeat four times on my mp3 player last time i ran with it.

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..
