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 of those movie stars
Fancy cars and limousines
I've been high in the Rockies
Or under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't wanna waste more time
I'm in a NewYork 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 and the Daily News, oh
Comes down to reality but it's fine with me
'Cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's China Town
Or up on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
'Cause I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York State of mind
I don't have any reasons
I'm in a New York, oh
I'm in a New-
I'm in a New-, New York
I'm in a New-
I'm in a New-, New York
I'm in a New-
I'm in a New-, New York
I'm in a New
I'm in a New-, New York
Say it, say it, say it
I'm in a New-
I'm in a New-, New York
I'm in a New-
I'm in a New-, ooh
New York State of mind
