The Unknown Stuntman Lyrics
Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell, But I've been seen with Farrah
I've never been with anything less than a nine, so fine
I've been on fire with Sally Field, gone fast with a girl named Bo
But somehow they just don't end up as mine
It's a death-defying life I lead, I'll take my chances
I've died for a living in the movies and TV
But the hardest thing I'll ever do is watch my leading ladies
Kiss some other guy while I'm bandaging my knee
I might fall from a tall building, I might roll a brand-new car
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star
I've never spent much time in school, but I taught ladies plenty
It's true I hire my body out for pay, hey hey
I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs, blown up over Rachel Welch
But when I wind up in the hay, it's only hay, hey hey
I might jump an open drawbridge, or Tarzan from a vine
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman, that makes Eastwood look so fine
They'll never make me president, but I got the best first ladies
Somedays I got 'em as far as the eye can see - Ooh wee
A morning dove with Jacky Smith, a crash in the night with Cheryl
But in the end they never stay with me
On my fall from the Tower Building, so Burt Reynolds don't get hurt
I might leap the mighty Canyon, so he can kiss and flirt
Well, that smooth talker's kissing my girl - I'm just kissing dirt
Yes, I'm the lonely stuntman, that made a lover out of Burt
I've never been with anything less than a nine, so fine
I've been on fire with Sally Field, gone fast with a girl named Bo
But somehow they just don't end up as mine
I've died for a living in the movies and TV
But the hardest thing I'll ever do is watch my leading ladies
Kiss some other guy while I'm bandaging my knee
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star
It's true I hire my body out for pay, hey hey
I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs, blown up over Rachel Welch
But when I wind up in the hay, it's only hay, hey hey
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman, that makes Eastwood look so fine
Somedays I got 'em as far as the eye can see - Ooh wee
A morning dove with Jacky Smith, a crash in the night with Cheryl
But in the end they never stay with me
I might leap the mighty Canyon, so he can kiss and flirt
Well, that smooth talker's kissing my girl - I'm just kissing dirt
Yes, I'm the lonely stuntman, that made a lover out of Burt

It's about the life of a stuntman, and how he made the actors into the lovers they became, which made his girlfriends go for them instead of him.
Blake Shelton's cover is more about the stuntman wanting to have the heart of one of these leading ladies instead of making them run to the actors he was hired to provide the stunts for.
