River lyrics

It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And signing 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 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 Well she tried hard to help me You know, she put me at ease And she loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Oh 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 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 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 They're putting up reindeer Singing songs of joy and peace God I wish I had a river I could skate away on
