Lyrics

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

I 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

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 3]

Tried hard to help me, and you put me at ease

Loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees

I 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

I've gone and lost the best baby I ever had

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 say 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

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
