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
