New York State of Mind Lyrics

#9
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood.
#9
But I'm takin' a Greyhound
On the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind
#9
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.
#9
But I know what I'm needin'
And I don't want to waste more time
#9
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
And now I need a little give and take
The New York Times
us
The Daily News
#9
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
#9
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
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
And now I need a little give and take
The Times Dispatch
us
Style Magazine
#9
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
#9
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
