(feat. K.D. Lang)

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 going to make a lot of 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 would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me

You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
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 and I'm sad
Now I've gone and 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

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
