River

It's coming on Christmas, cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
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
Gonna quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long, I would teach myself to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

Tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
He loved me so naughty made me weak in my 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
I've lost the best baby that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long, I would teach myself to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
I made my baby cry

It's coming on Christmas, cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
