After a successful career in commercial real estate, Tom Douglas scored his first charting single as a songwriter when Collin Raye took "Little Rock" to the top of the charts in 1994. "Little Rock" earned Tom a CMA Song of the Year nomination and marked the start of a long string of Top 10 singles that has stretched for more than two decades. His catalog of hits includes "The Gift" for Jim Brickman; "Love's the Only House" and "God's Will" for Martina McBride; "Grown Men Don't Cry," "My Little Girl," "Let it Go," "Southern Voice," and "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" for Tim McGraw; "Something Worth Leaving Behind" for Lee Ann Womack; "I Run to You" and "Hello World" for Lady Antebellum; "I Got a Car" for George Strait; "Raise 'Em Up" for Keith Urban and Eric Church; and Miranda Lambert's recording of "The House That Built Me," which was nominated for two Grammy awards, and won Song of the Year honors from the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, and the Nashville Songwriters Association International. Additionally, his songs have been recorded by Alabama, Garth Brooks, Bucky Covington, Blake Shelton, Randy Travis, Brooks & Dunn, Trisha Yearwood, Kenny Chesney, Brett Eldredge, Luke Bryan, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, and many others. Nearly a dozen of Tom's songs have won BMI performance awards; he is a Golden Globe and Oscar nominee; he has been nominated for four Grammy awards; and he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2014.
