Lyrics

New York State Of Mind

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 of those movie stars

and their fancy cars and limousines

I've been high in the Rockies

or under the evergreens.

But I know what I'm needing

and I'm not going to waste more time

I'm in a NewYork state of mind.

Bridge:

It was so easy living day by day

out of touch with the rhythm and blues

Now I need a little give and take

the New York Times and the Daily News, ohh

Comes down to reality and its fine with me

cause I've let it slide

I don't care if it's China Town

or up on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

cause I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York State of mind

I don't have any reasons

cause I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind.

I'm in a New

I'm in a New- New York

I'm in a New

I'm in a New ooh ooh

New York state of mind
