Some folks like
to get away
Take a holiday
from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami
Beach or to Hollywood
But I'm taking
a Greyhound
On the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York
state of mind
I've seen all the
movie stars
In their fancy cars
and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies
Under the evergreens
But I know
what I'm needing
And I don't want to
waste more time
I'm in a New York
state of mind
It was so easy
living day by day
Out of touch with t
he rhythm and blues
But now I need a little
give and take
The New York Times
the Daily News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with
me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's
Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any
reasons I left
them all behind
I'm in a New York
state of mind
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with
me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's
Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any
reasons I left
them all behind
I'm in a New York
state of mind
Mmh-mmh
