River (Live in Studio)

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 could teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Oh, I made my baby cry

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

I'm so hard to handle
Yeah, I'm sеlfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
I've ever had
Oh, 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
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
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
