New York State of Mind - Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - June 1977

Some folks like to get away
 Take a holiday from the neighborhood
 Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
 Me, I'm takin' 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 Rockys under the evergreens
 But I know what I'm needin', I don't want to 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 rhythym and blues
 But now I need a little give and take
 The New York Times, The Daily News, oh-oh-oh
 Now it comes down to reality
 That's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
 I 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
 Oh, yeah
 It was so easy living day by day
 Out of touch, out of touch with the rhythym and blues
 But now I need a little give and take
 New York Post, Newsday too
 Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-oh
 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 Oceanside
 I don't have any reasons, I left them all behind
 I'm in a New York state of mind
 I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
 'Cause I'm in a...
 I'm in a New York
 State of mind
