River Lyrics - Singles - Robert Downey Jr.

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees 

They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace 

Oh, 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 

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, you know, he put me at ease 

And he loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees 

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on 

Well, 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 

Oh, I wish I had a river so long 

I would teach my feet to fly 

Oh, I wish I had a river that 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, singing songs of joy and peace 

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
