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 that I could skate away on

But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green

I'm going to make a lot of money

And then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

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

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

I made my baby cry, oh oh

[Verse 2]

She tried hard to help me, you know, she put me at ease

And she loved me so naughty, she made me weak in the knees

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

And I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad

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

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

[Chorus]

Oh, I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

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

I made my baby say goodbye, oh oh

[Outro]

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 that I could skate away on

Yes, away on

Ooh yes
