River

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

It don't snow here, it stays pretty green

I'm gonna make a lot of money, then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so wide

And teach my feet to fly away

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

He tried so hard to help me, he tried to put me at ease

And he loved me so naughty, he made me weak at my knees

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

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

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

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so wide

Teach my feet to fly away, oh

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

I wish I had a river so wide

Teach my feet to fly away

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I could skate away on, hm-hm

I could skate away on

I could skate away on

I could skate away on

I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so wide, hm

I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so wide, hm, hm, hm

I just skate away on, and on, and on, and on

Wish I had a river so wide, hm-hm

I could skate away on, and on, and on

I wish I had a river
