River

[Verse 1] It's comin' on Christmas, they're cutting down trees They're puttin' 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 then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Chorus] 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 I made my baby cry [Verse 2] He tried hard to help me, he put me at ease He 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 [Chorus] 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 I made my baby say goodbye [Outro] It's comin' on Christmas, they're cutting down trees They're puttin' up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on, ooh, ooh
