Lyrics

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood Well I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line I'm in a New York state of mind I've made it to Mozambique, climbed a mountain peak, drove a racing car Made plans for Tahiti, but that's way too far My heart's in the big town, and I don't wanna waste more time I'm in a New York state of mind It comes down to reality and its fine with me cause I've let it slide Don't care if its Chinatown or 'round River Side I don't have any reasons I left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind It was so easy living day by day Out of touch with the rhythm of the blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, The Daily News It comes down to reality and its fine with me cause I've let it slide Don't care if its Chinatown or 'round River Side I don't have any reasons I've left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line Cause I'm in a New York I'm in a New York state of mind
