New York state of mind
Billy Joel

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday
from the neighbourhood
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 stars, in their fancy car and limousines
I've been high in the Rockies under the evergreens.
but I know what I'm needin' and I
don't want to waste more time
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 The Daily News

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
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all be hind
I'm in a New York state of mind

The New York Times The Daily News

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
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

but I'm taking a Greyhound
on the Hudson river line
I'm in a New York state of mind
