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.
|
|
I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines.
|
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.
|
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, 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.

(Instrumental)
|
|
It was so easy living day by 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.
|
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.
|
|
I don't have any reasons.
|
I left them all behind. I'm in a New York state of mind.
