Some folks like to get away
For a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood, oh
But I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind!
Oh, 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, oh
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, oh
I don't have many reasons, I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind!
Oh, I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
'Cause I'm in - I'm in a New York...
State...of....mind!
Oh, a New York state of mind!
