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
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the
rhythm and 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
New York state of mind
