Some folks like to get away Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood
But I'm taking a greyhound or a Hudson River line.
Cause I'm in a New York state of mind.
I've seen all of the movie stars with their fancy cars and their limousines.
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.
I know what I'm needing and I don't want to waste no time.
Cause I'm in a New York state of mind.
Well, it was so easy living day by day.
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues.
But not.
Need a little, little, little give and take
Like the New York Times or the Daily News.
But it comes down to reality And it's fine with me Cause I let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside.
I don't have no reasons and I left them all.
Behind Cause I'm in a New York
State of mind
New York, New York, New York.
State of mind.
I ain't got no reasons.
I got all the time.
Cause I'm in New York, New York
State of mind.
