River

[Verse 1]

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

Putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 2]

It don't snow here, it stays pretty green

I'm gonna make a lot of money

Then, I'm going to 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'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, ooh, ooh

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 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

[Outro]

I made my baby say goodbye, ooh, ooh

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
