Nashville Cast and Sam Palladio - River

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,
Stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And and then I'm gonna 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
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me,
He put me at ease
Lord,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,
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That 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 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
