Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighbourhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood And I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line I'm in a New York state of mind Well I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines Oh I've 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 Oh it was so easy livin' day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues Oh but now I need a little give and take The New York Times, the Daily News Oh it all comes down to reality and it's fine with me cos I let it slide I don't care if it's Chinatown or if it's Riverside I don't have any reasons I've left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind Oh and I will be, I will be taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line Oh cos I'm in a New York Oh I'm in a New York I guess I'm in a New York state of mind
