Some folks like to get away
|
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
|
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
|
But I'm takin' a Greyhound
|
On the Hudson River line
|
I'm in a New York state of mind
|
Seen all those movie stars
|
And their fancy cars and their limousines
|
Been high in the Rockies, under the evergreens
|
But I know what I'm needin'
|
And I don't wanna waste more time
|
I'm in a New York state of mind
|
It was so easy livin' day by day
|
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
|
But now I need a little give and take
|
The New York Times and the Daily News
|
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 up on 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
|
Cause left them all behind
|
I'm in a New York, I'm in a New York state of mind...
