Lyrics to River

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're 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

I'll make a lotta money

Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

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

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh



I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and I'm sad

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 long

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh



It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Well, 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
