It's coming on Christmas they're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer and singing songs of peace

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

It don't snow here

Stays pretty green

But make a lot of money

And I'm gonna quit this scene nowhere

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet how to fly

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

I made my baby cry

You tried hard to help me

You know it put me at ease

You loved me so naughty it made me weak in the knees

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

Yes I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and I'm sad

I've gone and lost the best baby

That I've ever had

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet how to fly

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas they're cutting down the trees

Putting up reindeer and singing songs of peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
