River (Joni Mitchell Cover)

[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 But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to 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 I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry [Verse 2] She tried hard to help me You know, she put me at ease And she 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 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 I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye [Verse 3] 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 I could skate away on [Instrumental Outro]
