New York State of Mind

[Verse 1]

Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighborhood

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

[Verse 2]

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 needin'

And I don't want to waste more time

I'm in a New York state of mind

[Bridge]

It was so easy livin' day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

Now, I need a little, a little give and take

The New York Times, the Daily News

[Verse 3]

Comes down to rеality

And it's fine with me 'cause I'vе let it slide

Don't care if it's on Chinatown or round about Riverside

I don't have any reason

Left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind

[Outro]

I'm in a New York state of mind

Yeah
