River

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down the trees
They're putting up the reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

You tried hard to help me
You know, you put me at ease
And you loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

And I'm so hard to handle
And I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Well, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Yeah I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up all the reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Could skate away on
