Lyrics

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
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 that I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
That I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river that 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
I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish, and I'm sad
I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
That I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
I made my baby say goodbye
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
