New York State Of Mind

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood

Well I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line

I'm in a New York state of mind

I've made it to Mozambique, climbed a mountain peak, drove a racing car

Made plans for Tahiti, but that's way too far

My heart's in the big town, and I don't wanna waste more time

I'm in a New York state of mind

It comes down to reality and its fine with me cause I've let it slide

Don't care if its Chinatown or 'round River Side

I don't have any reasons I 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 of the blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times, The Daily News

It comes down to reality and its fine with me cause I've let it slide

Don't care if its Chinatown or 'round River Side

I don't have any reasons I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind

I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line

Cause I'm in a New York

I'm in a New York state of mind
