New York State of Mind

Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighbourhood

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 the rhythm and blues

And now I need a little give and take

The New York Times

The Daily News

It comes down to reality

And that's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide

Don't care if it's Chinatown

or on the Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind

I'm taking a Greyhound

On the Hudson River Line

I'm in a New York...

I'm in a New York...

State of mind

New York state of mind
