River

[Verse 1] It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeers, 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 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] 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 I made my baby cry [Verse 2] He tried hard to help me, he put me at ease He loved me so naughty, he made me weak in the knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handlе, I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost thе best baby that I ever had 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 Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye [Outro] It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeers, singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
