It;s coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees.
They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace.
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money and quit this crazy scene.
Oh 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
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry.
Well, I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I made my baby say goodbye,
They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace.
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money and quit this crazy scene.
Oh 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
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry.
Well, I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I made my baby say goodbye,
