Some folks like to get away,
take a holiday from the neighborhood,
hop a flight to Miami
Beach or Hollywood,
but I'm taking the Greyhound on the Hudson River Line.
I'm in a New York
State of mind.
I've seen all the movie stars in the fancy cars and the 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,
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.
All
comes down to reality and it's fine
with me because I've let it slide.
I don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside.
I don't have any reasons.
I've left them all behind.
I'm in a New York State of mind.
Yeah,
now it was so easy
living day by day,
out of touch with the rhythm and blues.
