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. But I’m taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line I’m in a New York state of mind. I 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.
* It was so easy living day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues, But now I need a little give and take, The New York Times, The Daily News…
** 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 Riverside, I don’t have any reasons, I’ve left them all behind I’m in a New York state of mind.
Repeat * Repeat **
I’m just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line ‘Cause I’m in a New York state of mind
