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

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

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

But I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and i'm sad

Now i've 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

Oh i wish i had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye oh oh oh oh

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

That I could skate away on
