river

Its coming on Christmas

Theyre cutting down trees

Theyre putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it dont snow here

It stays pretty green

Im going to make a lot of money

Then Im going to 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

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
He put me at ease

And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Im so hard to handle

Im selfish and Im sad
Now Ive gone and lost the best baby

That I 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

Its coming on Christmas

Theyre cutting down trees

Theyre putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
