River Lyrics - Travis

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 cry 

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
