New York State of Mind

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…
