Margo Price River Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 2]
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Gonna quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus]
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach myself to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

[Verse 3]
Tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
He loved me so naughty Made me weak in my knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[Verse 4]
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
I've lost the best baby that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus]
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach myself to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
I made my baby cry

[Verse 5]
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
