Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 that 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 gonna quit this crazy scene I wish I had a river that I could skate away on [Chorus] I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river that I could skate away on I made my baby cry, oh oh [Verse 2] She tried hard to help me, you know, she put me at ease And she loved me so naughty, she made me weak in the knees And I wish I had a river that I could skate away on And I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad And I've gone and lost the best baby that I've ever had And I wish I had a river that I could skate away on [Chorus] Oh, I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river that I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye, oh oh [Outro] 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 that I could skate away on Yes, away on Ooh yes
