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

It don't snow here, it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money and then l'm gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long, I'd teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me, he put me at ease
She loved me so naughty, it made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

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

Oh, I wish I had a river so long, I'd teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye, oh, mm
Mm, mm

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
