Some folks like to get away |
|
Take a holiday from the neighborhood |
|
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood |
|
But I'm takin' a Greyhound |
|
On the Hudson River line |
|
I'm in a New York state of mind |
|
Seen all those movie stars |
|
And their fancy cars and their limousines |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 up on Riverside |
|
I don't have any reasons |
|
I've left them all behind |
|
I'm in a New York state of mind |
|
I don't have any reasons |
|
Cause left them all behind |
|
I'm in a New York, I'm in a New York state of mind... |
