Life ain't nothing but a blendin' up of all the ups and downsDammit Elvis, don't you knowHe makes mama so proudBefore you ever made that record, before there ever was a sunBefore you ever lost that Cadillac that Carl Perkins won

Mr. Phillips found old Johnny Cash and he was highHigh before he ever took those pills and he's still too proud to dieMr. Phillips never said anything behind nobody's backLike, "Dammit Elvis, don't he know, he ain't no Johnny Cash"

Mr. Phillips was the only man Jerry Lee still would call sirThen I guess Mr. Phillips did all of y'all about as good as you deserveHe did just what he said he's gonna do and the money came in sacksNew contracts and Carl Perkins' Cadillac

I got friends in Nashville, or at least they're folks I knowNashville is where you go to see if what they said is soCarl drove his brand new Cadillac to Nashville and he went downtownThis time they promised him a Grammy, he turned his Cadillac around

'Cause Mr. Phillips never blew enough hot airTo need a little gold plated paperweightHe promised him a Cadillac and put the wind in Carl's faceHe did just what he said he's gonna do and the money came in sacksNew contracts and Carl Perkins' Cadillac

Dammit Elvis, I swear son I think it's time you came aroundMaking money you can't spend ain't what being dad's aboutYou gave me all but one good reason not to do all other things you didNow 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 sirI guess Mr. Phillips did all of y'all about as good as you deserveHe did just what he said he's gonna do and the money came in sacksNew contracts and Carl Perkins' CadillacCarl Perkins' Cadillac
