River (Live)

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 going to make a lot of money
And I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I could teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

And I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, and put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Well 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
I ever had
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
And I wish I had a river
To skate away on
To skate away on
To skate away on
