River - Lyrics by Travis


Lyrics
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 I could skate away on

Now it don't snow here

It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lotta money

And 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 to fly

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me

She put me at ease

And she loved me so naughty

She made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish, I'm sad

And I've gone and lost the best baby that I 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 to fly
Oh 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

And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
