River

[Verse 1] It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer Singing songs of joy and peace Wish I had a river I could skate away on [Verse 2] 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 Wish I had a river I could skate away on [Chorus] Wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry [Verse 3] They try hard to help me Put me at ease I truly love you made me weak in the knees Wish I had a river I could skate away on [Verse 4] I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Gone and lost the best baby That I ever had Wish I had a river I could skate away on [Chorus] 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 Me and my baby said 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 Wish I had a river I could skate away on
