    Story Behind the Song
    Autobiographical. The ultimate acceptance of a parents decision to uproot his family from a small town and relocate them to a big city. This song was written in Long Beach, California.

    Lyrics
    Walking by a concrete stream, my memories they come to me.
    In a time so far away, in a totally different place.
    Hey kids, take all you know and throw it out the window.
    Things you take comfort in, get ready for the real world.

    Ohh Daddy, I don't blame you.
    That small town was just too small for you.
    Ohh Daddy, Can't you see I appreciate the love you gave to me.
    This country girl will survive and I promise I will get by.

    In the city I have made my home.
    Here my roots have really grown.
    This hectic pace it suits me and I don't think I'll ever leave.
    And all the family I have there, they're forever in my prayers.
    See pictures in my mind, as I remember a simpler time.

    Ohh Daddy, I don't blame you.
    That small town was just too small for you.
    Ohh Daddy, can't you see, I appreciate the love you gave to me.
    This country girl will survive and I promise I will get by.

    Drinking water from a well.
    And winters cold as hell.
    But when the icicles finally melt, it starts a whole new season and you are the reason.
    That this country girl will survive.

    Ohh, walking by a concrete stream.
    My memories they come to me.
    In a time so far away, in a totally different place.
    Hey kids take all you know and throw it out the damn window.
    Things you take comfort in, get ready for the real world.

    Ohh Daddy, I don't blame you.
    That small town was just too small for you.
    Ohh Daddy, can't you see I appreciate the love you gave to me.
    Ohh Daddy, I can't blame you.
    That small towm was just too small for you.
    Ohh Daddy, I don't blame you, I appreciate the love you gave to me, to me.
    This country girl will survive and I promise I will get by.
    Yeah, this country girl will survive and I promise I will get by.
