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
|
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
|
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
|
I don't have any reasons
|
I've left them all behind
|
I'm in a New York state of mind
|
|
It was so easy living day by day

I don't have any reasons
|
I've left them all behind
|
I'm in a New York state of mind
|
|
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
|
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
|
