River

[Verse 1]
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 to make a lot of money
I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus]
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 cry

[Verse 2]
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
He loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But 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
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
