Lyrics New York State of Mind - Bernadette Peters

New York State of Mind

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
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
Don’t care if it’s Chinatown or on Riverside
I don’t have any reasons I left them all behind
I’m in a New York state of mind
