Edwards was a special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 1940 to 1941, when he joined the United States Navy as a naval intelligence and gunnery officer during World War II. In 1950, he was elected president of the California Young Republicans. But he had switched parties by the time he was first elected to the House in 1962. He was the president of Valley Title Company of Santa Clara County from 1951 to 1975, and a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions of 1964 and 1968.
Edwards started his hockey career in the juniors with the Kitchener Rangers in the OHA-Jr.. He was very successful, playing in 90 games over 2 seasons, but was not considered a high draft pick, because of his small size. Despite that, he was still picked 89th overall in the 1975 NHL Amateur Draft by the Buffalo Sabres.
In his first NHL season, Edwards played in 25 games after spending last season in the AHL with the Hershey Bears. He finished the season with 16 wins, 7 losses and a 2.51 GAA.
On February 13, 1977, Edwards played a role in perhaps the most unusual event in Sabres history. A day after Edwards reported to Buffalo from Hershey, Sabres general manager Punch Imlach ordered coach Floyd Smith to have Edwards replace expected starting goaltender Al Smith:
Don Edwards (born March 20, 1939 in Boonton, New Jersey) is a cowboy singer and guitarist who performs Western music. He has recorded several albums, two of which, Saddle Songs and Songs of the Cowboy, are included in the Folklore Archives of the Library of Congress. Edwards also recorded the album High Lonesome Cowboy with Peter Rowan and Tony Rice.
In 1993 he appeared on Nanci Griffith's Grammy Award winning album Other Voices, Other Rooms on which he accompanied Griffith on a Michael Burton song entitled "Night Rider's Lament".
Edwards played the character Smokey in Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer. Edwards also performs the song "Coyotes" that plays during the final minutes of the documentary Grizzly Man.

Was a cowboy I knew in south Texas, His face was burnt deep by the sun, Part history, part sage, part mesquit, He was there when Poncho Villa was young. And he'd tell you a tale of the old days, When the country was wild all around, Sit out under the stars of the Milky Way, And listen while the coyotes howl. And they go... hoo yip hoo yip hoo hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo hoo yip hoo yip hoo hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo Now the long horns are gone, And the drovers are gone, The Comanches are gone, And the outlaws are gone, Geronimo is gone, And Sam Bass is gone, And the lion is gone, And the red wolf is gone. Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men, And he cursed the automobile, Said this is no place for an hombre like I am, In this new world of asphalt and steel. Then he'd look off some place in the distance, At something only he could see, He'd say all that's left now of the old days, Those damned old coyotes and me. And they go hoo yip hoo yip hoo hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo hoo yip hoo yip hoo hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo Now the long horns are gone, And the drovers are gone The Comanches are gone And the outlaws are gone, Now Quantro is gone, Stan Watie is gone And lion is gone, And the red wolf is gone. One morning they searched his adobe, He disappeared without even a word, But that night as the moon crossed the mountain, One more coyote was heard. And he'd go, hoo yip hoo yip hoo hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo hoo yip hoo yip hoo hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo hoo yip hoo yip hoo hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo hoo yip hoo yip hoo hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
