River

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

And 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

Gonna make a lot of money

Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

And I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so wide

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

'cause I made my baby cry

You tried hard to help me

And you put me at ease

Then loved me so naughty

Made me weak in my knees

And wish I had a river

That I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and i'm sad

Now I lost the best baby

That I ever had

And I wish I had a river

That I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so wide

I could teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river

That I could skate away on

Cause I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

But I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

God I wish I had a river so wide

I'd teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye
