River

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer and singing 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 gonna make a lot of money, then I'm gonna 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

Oooo, I made my baby cry, cry

He tried hard to help me, you know, he put me at ease

He loved me so naughty, he made me weak in the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish, I'm sad

Now I've gone and lost the best baby 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

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oooo, I made my baby say goodbye

Mmmm

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
