River

[Verse 1] It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And 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'll make a lot of money And I'm gonna quit this crazy scene Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Chorus] Oh, I wish I had a river so long I could teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry [Verse 3] He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty And made me weak in my knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Verse 4] I'm so hard to handle And I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby I ever had Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Chorus] Oh, I wish I had a river so long I could teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye [Verse 5] It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
