River

[Verse 1] It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees Putting up reindeer Singing songs of joy and peace Oh, 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 Gonna leave this crazy scene Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on Oh, I wish I had a river so long [Chorus] I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Post-Chorus] I made my baby cry [Verse 2] 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 Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby That I ever had Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on Oh, I wish I had a river so long [Chorus] I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Post-Chorus] I made my baby say goodbye [Verse 3] It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees Putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away, away, away, away
