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
|
<Interlude>
|
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
|
<Interlude>
|
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
|
<Interlude>
|
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
|
I'm in a New York state of mind
|

New York state of mind

New York state of mind
|
New York state of mind
|
New York state of mind
|
New York state of mind
|
sh that I could talk to you
|
Be with you somehow
|
I know you're in a better place
|
And you know I can see your face
|
I know you're smiling down on me
|
Saying everything's okay
|
I wish that I could hold you now
|
I wish that I could
|
touch you now
|
