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 taking a Greyhound
 On the Hudson River Line
 I'm in a New York state of mind
 ♪
 I've seen all the movie stars
 In their fancy cars and their limousines
 Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
 But I know what I'm needing
 And I don't want to waste more time
 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've left them all behind
