Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
Gonna make a lot of money, then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I could teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
[Instrumental]
Well, 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 I could skate away on
[Verse 3]
But I'm hard to handle, you know I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I could teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
[Instrumental]
Well, it's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
