"River" lyrics

It's coming on Christmas, they're 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 don't snow here, it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money then I'm gonna leave 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
Oh, I wish I had river, I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me, you know, it put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty, made me weak at the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river, I could skate away on

So hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river, I could skate away on

I wish I had 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

It's coming on Christmas, they're 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
