Thank God I’m A Cowboy is the second release from Doug’s third self-produced album Made That Way, released January 2013 and receiving high acclaim from all reviewers. The video clip, featuring scenes from Doug and his band’s recent performance at CMC Rocks The Hunter, takes the audience on a special journey, portraying the public and the personal side of a musician’s life … the push of the road and the pull of home.

To me the cowboy in this song is used as an analogy for freedom and the courage to chose your own destiny - to determine which path you’re going to head down and just get on with it”.

Thank God I’m A Cowboy is one of those unassuming, big ballads that will take hold of you right from the first bar. The haunting baritone guitar is complemented perfectly by Doug’s rich vocal tones. Written by Doug’s co-writer and friend Bill Shore (Sweet, A Good Place), David Wills and Adam Fears, the lyrics will resonate with anyone who has fought to make the right decisions in life and to just keep moving on.
