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
Umm...
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockys 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
Umm...
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythym 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
Umm... Oh yeah
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythym and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News
Who, oh, oh whoa who
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
Umm...
I'm just taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
Taken from AlbumSongAndLyrics.comCause I'm in a,
I'm in a New York state of mind
Yeah...
