Songs about running


 Back in March 2013 I posted a blog where I mentioned a song that highlighted running in its lyrics. The song being Jethro Tull’s  Budapest, from their Crest of a Knave album. I also wondered how many other songs did this.

So my interest was peaked again today by a tweet (X) from @adharanand where he had made a playlist of songs about running (not songs to run to). The playlist consists of 30 songs, such as Run Run Run by Jo Jo Gunne and Wasn’t Born to Follow by the Byrds. 

Having gone through this playlist I would suggest a further two songs, along with the aforementioned Budapest.
