River

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And 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 gonna make a lot of money
I'm gonna 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
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Oh, I made my baby cry

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

Oh, but I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost
The best baby I'd ever had

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