River

Its coming on Christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer 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 going to make a lot of money
And then Im going to 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 high
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

But Im so hard to handle
Im selfish and Im sad
Now Ive gone and lost the best baby that Ive ever had
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 high
Oh I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

Its coming on Christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
