  1. 09 Mack Attack

From the recording Pocket Hang Glider

If you know my wife you understand that she is a driven and restless person that likes to conquer mountains. She is only truly happy when she is backpacking above the scree fields. I try my best to keep up with her and that's what this song is about.

Lyrics

Mack Attack

Keeping up with Mack gonna have a heart attack
Keeping up with Mack gonna have a heart attack
Where the chilly wind blows that's where she has to go
She's my wife and she makes me feel alive

Like a Chinese dragon the snow is dancing on the lake
Like a Chinese dragon the snow is dancing on the lake
And it's easy to forget all the trouble that she makes
When your love’s on a fault line you get some earthquakes

We got lost in the mountains almost had to eat the dog
We got lost in the mountains almost had to eat the dog
And all her words were garbled and my head was filled with marbles
But we were still intact she's my Mack

Keeping up with Mack gonna have a heart attack
Keeping up with Mack gonna have a heart attack
Through the cold rain and sleet she keeps me on my feet
She's my wife and she makes me feel alive

You know she holds the crystal key to a wilderness unlocked
You know she holds the crystal key to a wilderness unlocked
She drives me up a mountain and she drives me up a wall
She'd rather sleep in a scree field than shop at the mall

Keeping up with Mack gonna have a heart attack
Keeping up with Mack gonna have a heart attack
Where the chilly wind blows that's where she’s gotta to go
She's my wife and she makes me feel alive
