River lyrics

It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Well, I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don't snow here Stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to 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 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 he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Well, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle You know, I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby That I ever had Well, I wish I had a river I could skate away on Well, 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 say goodbye Well, it's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees Putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Well, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
