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
