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
 But I'm takin' a greyhound
 On the Hudson river line
 I'm in a New York state of mind
 Seen all the movie stars
 And their fancy cars and their limousines
 Been high in the rockies, under the evergreens
 But I know what I'm needin'
 And I don't wanna waste more time
 I'm in a New York state of mind
 It was so easy livin' day by day
 Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
 But now I need a little give and take
 The New York Times and the Daily News
 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 up on Riverside
 I don't have any reasons
 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, I'm in a New York state of mind
