lyrics

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,
Stays pretty green.
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And 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 made my baby cry

she tried hard to help me,
she put me at ease
she love me so naughty,
made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now 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 to fly
I made my baby cry
I made my baby say goodbye

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
