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
This song is almost all true with the exception of living on the streets. When I lost my Son, I felt lost and all alone. The song was written from the perspective of how I felt at the moment!
Lyrics
The night is cold and black The rain is pouring down The wind is blowin' thru the street Over the cold hard ground With a cardboard box around me And a candle for a light I read a blurry headline From a paper I found last night I saw it all some years ago When I was just a kid Those people livin' on the streets I wondered why they did There was a song the Beatles sang About a no- where man I don't recall the rest of it... Somethin' bout a no where land chorus.... There was a time .... I had it all I couldn't ask for more A pretty wife and family People knockin on my door Tonight I'll try to sleep again Out here in the cold With a cardboard box around me My new home is growin' old So.. tomorrow I'll go a'lookin' Maybe find a better home And maybe find a blanket That'll help to keep me warm (repeat chorus) I used to have a family But that was years ago My wife had found another man.. So... I just.... let her go I raised my little boy And watched him grow into a man He was killed one cold October day.... Now.. I do the best I can Repeat first verse..... to fade
