River

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.
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green.
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna 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.
She tried hard to help me.
She put me at ease.
And she 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 that I've ever had.
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. (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.
