Lyrics

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
You won't make a lot of money, then split this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I had a river so high
I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah
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
And I think I've lost the best baby that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
She tried hard to help me, tried to put me at ease
She loved me so naughty, made me weak in my knees
Yeah, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I had a river so wide
I could teach my feet to fly away yeah
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
And I made my baby say goodbye
And I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I can skate away on
I could skate away on
