River

[Verse 1]

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

Putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace

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

Yeah, but it don't snow here, it stays pretty green

You want to make a lot of money and split this crazy scene

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

[Refrain]

Oh, I wish I had a river so high

I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 2]

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

And I think I lost the only best baby that I ever had

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

She tried hard to help me, tried to put me at ease

She loved me so naughty, made me weak in my knees

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

[Refrain]

Oh, I wish I had a river so wide

I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Outro]

I made baby cry, and I made my baby say goodbye

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

I could skate away on

I could skate away on
