New York State Of Mind

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...
