Some folks
like to get away
from a holiday
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
