New York State Of Mind

Some folks like to get away
 Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
 Hop a flight to Miami Beach
 Or to Hollywood
 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
 I know what I'm needing
 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
 Comes down to reality
 Well it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
 I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
 I ran out of reasons
 I've left them all behind
 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
 I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
 I ran out of reasons
 I've left them all behind
 I'm in a New York state of mind
 New York State of Mind
 New York State of Mind
 New York State of Mind
 New York State of Mind
