River Lyrics

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
Then putting our pray
We're singing songs of joy and peace

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

But lived on slowly
It stays pretty green
But I make a lot of money
And now I quit this crazy scene

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

I wish I had a river so long
I could teach my feet to float
I wish I had a river
I could skate away home
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
He left me so lonely
Made me weak in the knees

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

And I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and sad
I lost the best baby that I ever had

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

I wish I had a river so long
I could teach my feet to float
I wish I had a river
I could skate away home
I made my baby say goodbye
I made my baby say goodbye
