New York State of Mind (with Billy Joel) [Live]

Some folks like to get away

They take a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to Miami Beach

Or to Hollywood

I'm takin' 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 an limousines

I've 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

Outta touch with the rhythm and blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times, 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 Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I left them all behind

Oh, I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy livin' day by day

Outta touch with the rhythm and blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times, The Daily News

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And 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 Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I left them all behind

I'm in a (I'm in a) New York (New York) State of mind (State of mind)

I'm just taking a Greyhound

On the Hudson River Line

'Cause I'm in a ('Cause I'm in a)

I'm in a New York (I'm in a New York)

State of mind (State of) Mind

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
