Doug Kiker American Idol Audition
A full time garbage collector from his hometown Alabama, this married father proved himself at the American Idol Audition saying that he wanted to show his two-year old daughter that “there’s nothing you can’t do.”
Being an amateur vocalist whose only previous experience was singing at the back of a garbage truck, judge Lionel Richie allowed him to warm up outside first. He then returns to the studio and performed his own version of Rascal Flatts’ “Bless the Broken Road.” Judge Katy Perry believed in his talent and hopes that he would go a long way and take his daughter to all the greatest heights.
Bless the Broken Road Lyrics

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you
That every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes it did
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You’ve been there you understand
It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Bless the Broken Road Lyrics
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
And others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know it’s true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yeah
And now I’m just rolling home
Into my lover’s arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Bless the Broken Road Lyrics
That God blessed the broken road
Ooh, ooh
That led me straight to you
