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 Seen all the movie stars And 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 livin' day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times and the Daily News 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 up on Riverside I don't have any reasons I've left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind I don't have any reasons 'Cause I've left them all behind I'm in a New York, I'm in a New York state of mind
