River

[Verse 1] It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down the trees 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 Gonna make a lot of money And then 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 would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on Ooh, I made my baby cry Cry, cry, cry [Verse 3] He tried to help me You know, it put me at ease And he loved me so naughty It made me weak in the knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Verse 4] I'm so hard to handle You know I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gonе and lost the best baby That I evеr had Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Chorus] Oh, 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 Ooh, I made my baby say goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye [Outro] It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down the trees Putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
