Matt Nathanson River
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
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lotta money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I'd teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
She tried hard to help me
You know, she put me at ease
She loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Well, 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
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'd teach my feet to fly
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
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Well, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
