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 taking 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 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 living 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've left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind 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've left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind Ooh, ooh, ooh
