Some folks like to get away

for 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.

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 on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've 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

I'm in a New York

state of

Mind

A New York

State of Mind
