Life ain't nothin' but a blendin' up all the ups and downs
                          C
Damn it, Elvis, don't you know?
                      D
You made your mama so proud.

                          C                          D
Before you ever lost that Cadillac, the Carl Perkins one.

Mr. Phillips found ol' Johnny Cash when he was high
                    C
high before he ever took those pills
                            D
and he's still too proud to die.

Mr. Phillips never said anything behind nobody's back
                             C
like damn it Elvis, don't he know?
                   D
He ain't no Johnny Cash

Mr. Phillips was the only man that Jerry Lee still would call sir
                Em                               D
I just wish Mr. Phillips did all of y'all, bout as good as you deserved
   C                          B/C 
He did just what he said he's gonna do

and the money came in sacks.
