River

It's coming on christmas
They're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer
And 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
Gonna make a lot of money
Then i'm gonna quit this crazy scene
And i wish i had a river
I could skate away on

I wish i had a river so wide
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish i had a river
I could skate away on
'cause i made my baby cry

You tried hard to help me
And you put me at ease
Then loved me so naughty
Made me weak in my knees
And wish i had a river
That i could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and i'm sad
Now i lost the best baby
That i ever had
And i wish i had a river
That i could skate away on

I wish i had a river so wide
I could teach my feet to fly
I wish i had a river
That i could skate away on
Cause i made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on christmas
They're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
But i wish i had a river
I could skate away on

God i wish i had a river so wide
I'd teach my feet to fly
I wish i had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
