River

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

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

Oh, I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby cry (huh)

You know she tried hard to help me

She put me at ease

She loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

You know I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and I'm sad

Now I've gone and lost

The best baby I've ever had

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long

I could teach my feet to fly

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

They're putting up reindeer

Singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on, mm (uh-huh)

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

(Uh-huh)
