Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some folks like to get away
They take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood, Hollywood
But me I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind
[Verse 2]
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
I been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
I know what I'm needing
And I don't wanna waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
[Verse 3]
It was so easy living day by day, oh, yeah
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues, yeah
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News
[Verse 4]
And it comes down to reality
And that's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside, no
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
[Verse 5]
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind, oh, yeah
