Some folks like to get away Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood
But I`m talking 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 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
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
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
