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
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And 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 could teach my feet to fly

Oh i wish i had a river
I could skate away on

I made my baby cry...

You tried hard to help me
Always put me at ease
You loved me so naughty, baby
Made me weak in the knees

Oh i wish i had a river
I could skate away on

And i'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and i'm sad
And i've gone and lost the best baby
That i have ever had

Oh i wish i had a river
I could skate away on

I wish i had a river so long
I could teach my feet to fly

Oh i wish i had a river
I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

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
