Think this was suggested before
The Beatles
fool on the hill
Springsteen-born to run
Luke Appleyard (Wharfedale)- quick on the dissent
Close to the (Stanage) Edge - YES.
Freefalling by Tom Petty - surely was on the previous thread.
He's big and he's good.
Coming down from the mountain by the Meat Puppets always seems quite apt for fell running or perhaps orienteering
Here are some choice lines:
Picking slowly up the rockslide
One thing always seems apparent
If the climb becomes too much
I can always turn around
Though they call it terra firma
It dissolves beneath my feet
Looking through a pile of garbage
For some worthless piece of paper
That's been hidden there for me
To give meaning to my day
Going down to the desert
there are things worth avoiding
And it always makes me cross
When those things get in my way
Coming down from the mountain
I have seen the lofty glory
I will go again someday
But for now I'm coming down
From personal experience, the song most appropriate to fell running would have to be:
Fujiya and Miyagi - Ankle Injuries

"Get yourself together, Jones" - Ray Davies
The Byrds:
"Oh I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescent's glowing and
Run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain
And Wander through the forest
...
I wasn't born to follow"

Maybe another song that is also featured in 'Easy Rider' - 'If you want to be a bird' OK it's a bit tenuous but I love Jack Nicholson in that film.
Swamp.
Hinjuns!
Hic.
I'm gonna get that cwazy gwouse...
I've just been reminded of this thread by the "cows bloody cows" thread.
This song is obviously about how tricky it is to run on forest paths with all the tree roots tripping you up:
