River

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 gonna make a lot of money
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.
Oh, 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.
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'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.
I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

I made my baby say goodbye.

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.
