Lyrics of
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
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockys 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
Bridge
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythym 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've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockys under the evergreens
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line.
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
