River

(album: Tinsel And Lights - 2012)

It's coming on Christmas
And they're cutting down trees
I'm 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
Stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of 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 how to fly
Oh, 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 how to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
And putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
