Travis - River lyrics

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 lot of 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

I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh 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
