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 It was so easy livin' day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues Now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News Come down to reality, and its fine with me cause I'll let it slide Don't care if it's Chinatown or 'round at Riverside I don't have any reasons I left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind I'm in a New York state of mind
