"River" lyrics

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down the 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
Gonna make a lot of money
And then I'm gonna quit 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
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Ooh, I made my baby cry
Cry, cry, cry

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

I'm so hard to handle
You know 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

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
Ooh, I made my baby goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down the trees
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
