Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to
Miami beach or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
on the Hudson Riverline
I'm in a New York state of mind
I 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
now I need a little give and take
The New York Times and The Daily News
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
now I need a little give and take
Something like the
New York Times and The Daily News
comes down to reality
it's fine with me
'cause I've let it slide
don't care if
it's Chinatown or on Riverside
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
I'm in a New York state of mind
