lyrics

Well I grew up, sittin in front
Of an old tube TV
Watched evil canibal hop over the moon, and saw Bronson kick in teeth
I spent my days à in day dream haze
Of the day I'd be a star
Now all I got is trailer park home
And a beat up old stunt car

I got achy knees, from a bone disease that I got from shooting scenes
I don't heal up like I used too
When I was fearless and 19
I but I still can take a hit like a champ
It's all I've ever known
I laugh it off while on the set
But I holler in pain at home

Chorus:
I'll take the hits that you can’t take
I’ll break the bones that you can’t break
I’ll do the things that you can’t fake cause I can
I’ll lay my life down on the line
So you won’t have to time to time
Even though no one knows who I am
I’m the stunt man

My autograph ain't worth a dime,
But I've been on the silver screen
You're more inclined to recognize Stallone or Steve McQueen
I've hit the ground so many times I got road marks on my face
I'm the best there is at falling down
With fortitude and grace

You could blow me up you could burn me down but I'll still be ok
I'm damn near invincible and I'll always be that way
I'm not your friend I'm not your pal but I'll take the fall for you
If the price is right then I'll be there to do what you can't do

Chorus

I'll always be needed
Long as I'm breathing
Long as there's fear left in Hollywood
It's just thrill of
Danger I love
And I wouldn't change it if I could

So look for my name when credits role and the people leave their seats
I'll be down at the bottom in the no name column with the rest of side show freaks
And the next time when the hero falls
Know that it's me not them
And while they ride out into the sunset
I'll be lying in a hospital bed

Chorus

Rocky Bottom Nashville, Tennessee

Rocky Bottom is not your typical folkster and not your typical punk rock’n roller. He doesn’t try to favor either side, but embraces being in between. From playing festivals across the country to the dive bars in its crevices, he’s no stranger to the road. With his last LP “American Man” under his belt (“Shines with authenticity”- Pop Matters), “Mr. Nothing” is set to be his first full band effort ... more
