Some folks like to get away |
|
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood |
|
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 the movie stars |
|
In their fancy cars and their limousines |
|
Been high in the Rockies 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 |
|
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, 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 |
