Lyrics for Song: River 
Lyrics for Album: The Classic Christmas Album [2006]
  
               
  2407>It's coming on Christmas
  They're cutting down trees
  They're putting up reindeer
  And signing 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
  Then I'm going to 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
  I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
  I made my baby cry
 
 
  Well she tried hard to help me
  You know, she put me at ease
  And she 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
  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 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
 
 
  Well It's coming on Christmas
  They're cutting down trees
  They're putting up reindeer
  Singing songs of joy and peace
  God I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
