River

[verse] 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 [verse] 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 [verse] I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry [verse] He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees I wish I had a river I could skate away on [verse] 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 I could skate away on [verse] Oh, I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye [verse] 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 [outro] My baby said goodbye Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
