New York State of Mind Lyrics

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami beach or to Hollywood
But I'm takin' a greyhound
On the hudson river line
I'm in a New York state of mind
Seen all those movie stars
And 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 wanna 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
Oh with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
Give and take
The New York times and the daily news
The daily news
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's chinatown or up on riverside
I don't have any reasons
Cause left them all behind
We are a New York, we're in a New York state of mind
In a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
With the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York times and the daily news
Comes down to reality
And it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's chinatown or up on riverside
Or up on riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York
I'm in a New York state of
We're in a New York state of mind

Billy, let's go get some pizza
Let's go get chinese
Even better.
