| Some folks like to get away
|
| Take a holiday from the neighborhood
|
| Hop a flight to Miami Beach
|
| Or to Hollywood
|
| But I’m taking a Greyhound
|
| On the Hudson River line
|
| I’m in a New York State of mind
|
| I’ve seen all of those movie stars
|
| And their fancy cars and limousines
|
| I’ve been high in the Rockies
|
| Or under the evergreens
|
| But I know what I’m needing
|
| And I’m not going to waste more time
|
| I’m in a NewYork state of mind
|
| Bridge:
|
| It was so easy living day by day
|
| Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
|
| Now I need a little give and take
|
| The New York Times and the Daily News, ohh
|
| Comes down to reality and its fine with me
|
| Cause I’ve let it slide
|
| I don’t care if it’s China Town
|
| Or up on Riverside
|
| I don’t have any reasons
|
| Cause I’ve left them all behind
|
| I’m in a New York State of mind
|
| I don’t have any reasons
|
| Cause I’ve left them all behind
|
| I’m in a New York state of mind
|
| I’m in a New
|
| I’m in a New- New York
|
| I’m in a New
|
| I’m in a New ooh ooh
|
| New York state of mind |
