Some folks like to get away 
Take 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 
I've seen all the movie stars 
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies 
Under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing 
And I don't want to waste more time
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
And now I need a little give and take
The New York Times 
The Daily News
It comes down to reality 
And that's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown 
Or on the Riverside
I don't have any reasons 
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind 
I don't have any reasons 
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind 
I'm taking a Greyhound 
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York...
I'm in a New York... 
State of mind
New York state of mind
