作曲 : Cooley, Drive By Truckers | |
Life ain't nothing but a blending up of all the ups and downs | |
Dammit Elvis, don't you know | |
You made your 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' | |
If Mr. Phillips was the only man that 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 was gonna do and the money came in sacks | |
New contracts and Carl Perkins' Cadillac | |
I got friends in Nashville, or at least they're folks I know | |
Nashville 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 | |
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 was gonna do and the money came in sacks | |
New contracts and Carl Perkins' Cadillac | |
Dammit Elvis, I swear son I think it's time you came around | |
Making money you can't spend ain't what being dead's about | |
You gave me all but one good reason not to do all the things you did | |
Now Cadillacs are fiberglass, if you were me you'd call it quits |
