River Lyrics

It's coming on Christmas,
They're cutting down trees.
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace,
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

But it don't snow here,
Stays pretty green.
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Gonna quit this crazy scene.
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

I wish I had a river so long,
I would teach my feet to fly.
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
I made my baby cry.

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
Yeah
I could skate away on.

But I'm so hard to handle,
I'm selfish and I'm sad.
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I've ever had.
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

I wish I had a river so long,
I would teach my feet to fly.
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
I made my baby say goodbye.
Oh...
Say goodbye
Ooh...

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.
Away
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
It's coming on Christmas
