River

[Verse 1]

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer, 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

I'm gonna make a lot of money, quit this crazy scene

And I wish I had a river that I could skate away on

[Chorus]

I wish I had a river so long

I'd teach my feet to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 3]

I made my baby cry

But she tried hard to help me, she put me at ease

She 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

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

I wish I had a river that 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 that I could skate away on

[Verse 5]

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
