River

[Verse 1]
It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 2]
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money, quit this crazy scene
And I wish I had a river that 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
But she tried hard to help me, she put me at ease
She loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 4]
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 that I could skate away on

[Chorus]
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river that I could skate away on

[Verse 5]
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
