New York State of Mind
Some folks like to get awayTake a holiday from the neighborhoodHop a flight to Miami BeachOr to HollywoodBut I’m talking a GreyhoundOn the Hudson River LineI’m in a New York state of mind
I’ve seen all the movie starsIn their fancy cars and their limousinesBeen high in the Rockies under the evergreensBut I know what I’m needingAnd I don’t want to waste more timeI’m in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by dayOut of touch with the rhythm and bluesBut now I need a little give and takeThe New York Times, The Daily News
It comes down to realityAnd it’s fine with me ’cause I’ve let it slideDon’t care if it’s Chinatown or on RiversideI don’t have any reasonsI’ve left them all behindI’m in a New York state of mind
