New York State of Mind

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood Oh but I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson City line I'm in a New York state of mind Seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and in their limousines, Been high on the Rockies under the evergreens, I know what I'm needing, do not want to waste no time I'm in a New York state of mind It was so easy living day to day Out of touch with the rhythm and the rhymes, But now I need a little give and take, The Daily News, and the New York Times... Comes down to reality, it's fine with me, cause I've let it slide, Don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside, I've run out of reasons, left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind It was so easy living day to day Out of touch with the rhythm and the rhymes, But now I need a little give and take, The Daily News, still like the New York Times... Comes down to reality, well it's fine with me, cause I've let it slide, Don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside, I have run out of reasons, left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry We're talking the “A”train I'm in a New York state of mind Broadway... Broadway...
