Every runner has his/her favorite running songs, and most of us old guys include the Boss' Born to Run near the top of our lists.
But the very best of the best of running songs has to be about three minutes into Born to Run. The music's hit a crescendo, there a brief pause, then Bruce counts -- shift into overdrive -- 1 . . 2 . . 3 . . 4, there's a drum roll (pick up the pace again), then, almost like a shove in your back, The Big Man, Clarence Clemons, brings everyone (better pick up your pace again) in with his sax:
The highway's jammed with broken heroes (but not me)
on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
but there's no place left to hide (no place to hide because I'm in the lead)
Whoo! I had a good run tonight. Can you tell?
