River

It's comin' on Christmas
 They're cuttin' down trees
 They're puttin' up reindeer
 Singin' songs of joy and peace
 I wish I had a river
 I could skate away on
 
 Yeah, but it don't snow here
 Stays pretty green
 You wanna make a lot of money
 Split this crazy scene
 I wish I had a river
 That I could skate away on
 Oh, I wish I had a river so high
 I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah
 I wish I had a river
 I could skate away on
 But I'm so hard to handle
 I'm selfish and I'm sad
 And I think, your's the only best, baby
 That I ever had
 Oh, I wish I had a river
 That I could skate away on
 ♪
 She tried hard to help me
 Tried to put me at ease
 She loved me so naughty
 Made me weak in my knees
 Yeah, I wish I had a river
 I could skate away on
 Oh, I wish I had a river so high
 I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah
 I wish I had a river
 I could skate away on
 And I made my baby cry
 And I made my baby say goodbye
 And I wish I had a river
 I could skate away on
 I could skate away on
 I could skate away on
