River

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

But it don't snow here
Stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And and then I'm 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 my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry.

He tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the 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
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I've 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 my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye.

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
And on and on and on.
