River

Its coming on Christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it dont snow here
It stays pretty green
Im gonna make a lot of money
Im gonna live this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Oh, 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
You tried hard to help me
You know, you put me at ease
And you loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, 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
Oh, 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
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
So I wish I had a river
I could skate away away away away...
