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
