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 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] 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] Well, 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 4] But I'm hard to handle, you know I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I gone and lost the best baby that I ever had 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 [Outro] Well, it's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
