作曲 : Cooley, Drive By Truckers
Life ain't nothing but a blendin' up of all the ups and downs
Dammit Elvis, don't you know
He makes mama so proud
Before you ever made that record, before there ever was a sun
Before you ever lost that 
Cadillac that 
Carl Perkins won
Mr. Phillips found old 
Johnny Cash and he was high
High before he ever took those pills and he's still too proud to die
Mr. Phillips never said anything behind nobody's back
Like, "Dammit Elvis, don't he know, he ain't no Johnny Cash"
Mr. Phillips was the only man 
Jerry Lee still would call sir
Then I guess 
Mr. Phillips did all of y'all about as good as you deserve
He did just what he said he's gonna do and the money came in sacks
New contracts and 
Carl Perkins' 
CadillacI got friends in 
Nashville, or at least they're folks 
I knowNashville is where you go to see if what they said is so
Carl drove his brand new 
Cadillac to 
Nashville and he went downtown
This time they promised him a 
Grammy, he turned his 
Cadillac around'
Cause Mr. 
Phillips never blew enough hot air
To need a little gold plated paperweight
He promised him a 
Cadillac and put the wind in 
Carl's face
He did just what he said he's gonna do and the money came in sacks
New contracts and 
Carl Perkins' 
CadillacDammit 
Elvis, I swear son 
I think it's time you came around
Making money you can't spend ain't what being dad's about
You gave me all but one good reason not to do all other things you did
Now Cadillacs are fiberglass, if you were me you'd call it quits
If Mr. Phillips was the only man that 
Jerry Lee still would call sir
I guess Mr. 
Phillips did all of y'all about as good as you deserve
He did just what he said he's gonna do and the money came in sacks
New contracts and 
Carl Perkins' 
CadillacCarl
