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 taking a Greyhound

On the Hudson River line

I'm in a New York State of mind.

I've seen all of those movie stars

And their fancy cars and limousines

I've been high in the Rockies

Or under the evergreens.

But I know what I'm needing

And I'm not going 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

Now I need a little give and take

The New York Times and the Daily News, ohh

Comes down to reality and its fine with me

Cause I've let it slide

I don't care if it's China Town

Or up on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

Cause I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York State of mind

I don't have any reasons

Cause I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind.

I'm in a New

I'm in a New- New York

I'm in a New

I'm in a New oh oh

New York state of mind
