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 Those 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 Left Them All Behind
I'm in a New York, I'm in a New York State of Mind...
