River

[Verse 1]
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down the trees
Putting up reindeer
And 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
Gonna make a lot of money
And then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus]
Oh, 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
Ooh, I made my baby cry
Cry, cry, cry

[Verse 3]
He tried to help me
You know, it put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
It made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 4]
I'm so hard to handle
You know 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]
Oh, 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
Ooh, I made my baby goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

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