"River" lyrics - CEELO GREEN

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river that 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 then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river that I could skate away on

[Chorus:]
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me, you know, she put me at ease
And she loved me so naughty, she made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river that 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
And I wish I had a river that I could skate away on

[Chorus:]
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

[Outro:]
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 that I could skate away on
Yes, away on
