River

[Verse 1]

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

They're puttin' up reindeer, 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, 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

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 comin' on Christmas, they're cutting down trees

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

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