Lyrics of 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 takin' a greyhound on the hudson river line.
I'm in a new york state of mind.
I've seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines.
Been high in the rockies under the evergreens.
I know what i'm needin', and i don't want to 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, the daily news.

It comes down to reality, and its fine with me cause i've let it slide.
I don't care if it's chinatown or on riverside.
I don't have any reasons.
I left them all behind.
I'm in a new york state of mind.
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now i need a little give and take
The new york times, the daily news.

It comes down to reality, and its fine with me cause i've let it slide.
I don't care if it's chinatown or on riverside.
I don't have any reasons.
I left them all behind.
I'm in a new york state of mind.

I'm just taking a greyhound on the hudson river line.
Cause i'm in a, i'm in a new york state of mind
