Eric Johanson and Tiffany Pollack - River

It's coming on Christmas you know they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeers, singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river, I could skate away on
But it don't snow here you know it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money and 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 babe to fly away
Wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made that baby cry
You tried hard to help you put me at ease
Then you loved me so naughty and made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river, I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle you know
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I gone 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 away
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas you know they're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeers, singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river, that could skate away on
