River

[Verse 1] It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Verse 2] But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green I'm gonna make a lot of money, quit this crazy scene And I wish I had a river that I could skate away on [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] I made my baby cry But she tried hard to help me, she put me at ease She loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Verse 4] 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 I wish I had a river that I could skate away on [Chorus] I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river that I could skate away on [Verse 5] I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on
