Lyrics

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)
