River

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

But it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm going

Make a lot of money

Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene

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

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me

You know he put me at ease

And loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

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

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 my feet

Fly

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away

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
