lyrics

Me & Mack
c & p 1994 Bunj Jam-BMI

Twenty years have past
And the first one seems as close
As the last
When I think of running with
My old best friend
Me and Mack

We’d kill the commies
With our hand held H-bombs
Call the neighbor an old witch
And get a switching by our moms
Then later on
Get together and laugh
Me and Mack

Is Mack around
Can he come down and play
I’ll be the red man
With some feathers and some braids
And he can be the cowboy
Don’t let it get to his head
I’ll be the Indian
And he can shoot me dead

But now those days are gone
And we’re all doing our best
But with one blink of two eyes
The whole world can become a wreck
We’re looking in the mirror
And seeing no one else’s neck
Me and Mack

We window shop in high price shopping malls
We drop in debt for Jesus
Name it Santa Claus
Drove and drove our cars
And made a hole up toward the stars
Me and Mack

(Chorus)

Now I never knew the roll
But I once knew how to rock
And I don’t need to fill your shoes
But I’d like to try one sock
And grab a little danger
Then learn how to be safe
Live a little smarter
Before life gets too late
For me and Mack

Is Mack around
Can he come down and play
I’ll be the red man
With some feathers and some braids
And he can be the cowboy
Don’t let it get to his head
I’ll be the Indian
But I just might shoot you instead
You better watch your back...Mack
