Many people try to quit smoking and find that it is not that easy! Every now and then, they have an urge to light up! I deceided that I had to write a song about it with a little sense of humor.

Funny how life leads you to places you never thought you'd be. But ... here I am! I guess I'll just keep on tryin'. It's not over.... till the end!
Doug was born in Utica, New York and started entertaining when he was around 18 years old. At first he thought maybe this would not be for him but, there was always something pulling on him to keep going. Soon, he realized this was his passion and he tried more and more to be as good as he could be. Then, one day, a businessman asked him if he would be interested in making a record. All he had to do is write the songs. This, was his challenge. So, he wrote the songs and soon, he was working steadily. Doug began to travel and play to bigger and bigger crowds. He was then picked up by a radio station DJ and soon he was opening for some of his favorite Nashville Country Music acts. Doug started to write more and record more. Finally He went to Nashville and traveled around the country playing his music.

Story behind the song
One day while sitting with a few of my friends and having a drink, I lit up a cigarette and started coughing! I made a remark that went like.."Well, here I sit and I'm coughin'.... I guess this is it.!!" Almost immediately, I reached for a magazine ( the only piece of paper around at the time) and wrote those words down! It only took a short while and I had almost finished the whole song.. right then and there!
Lyrics
Well, here I sit and I'm coughin' I guess this is it I'm all through with smokin' I'm really gonna quit You read those ads in the magazines About those cigarettes That "this one is the best one" Cause the filter is recessed "It's what's up front" they say And 100's they give ya more But, the menthol and the mint That's what I was lookin for.... I'll butt no more... No more smokin' I ain't a gonna smoke no more Sometimes, I'd git to playin' My dusty ole guitar With a cigarette in one hand Or.. maybe a cigar Now, I don't know if you know But ya see it's kinda rough Tryin' to pick your guitar While your tryin' to sneek a puff Your bendin' and twistin' Pullin' on those strings I've gotta give em' up I gotta quit those things Butt no more No more smokin' I ain't a'gonna smoke no more I gotta give 'em up Cause the doctors.. they all say That it shorten's up your breathin' Now, I can't sing that way Their reason's.. there all good And it makes sense I guess But, when a cigarette is offered I wind up sayin' yes! Butt no more No more smokin' I ain't agonna smoke no more (tag) Butt, no more No more smokin' I ain't a'gonna smoke no more.... I quit!!
