River Songtext / Lyric

It's comin' on Christmas, they're cuttin' down trees

They're puttin' up reindeer and singin' songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on



But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green

I'm going to make a lot of money, and then I'm going to 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






He tried hard to help me, you know, he put me at ease

He loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on



I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad

Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I 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



It's comin' on Christmas, they're cuttin' down trees

They're puttin' up reindeer and singin' songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
