Lyrics

[00:56.46] Some folks like to get away
[00:59.07] Take a holiday from the neighborhood
[01:03.92] Hop a flight to Miami Beach
[01:07.12] Or to Hollywood
[01:12.15] But I'm talking a Greyhound
[01:15.12] On the Hudson River Line
[01:21.09] I'm in a New York state of mind
[01:24.90]
[01:32.87] I've seen all the movie stars
[01:35.34] In their fancy cars and their limousines
[01:40.17] Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
[01:48.46] But I know what I'm needing
[01:51.70] And I don't want to waste more time
[01:57.33] I'm in a New York state of mind
[02:01.69]
[02:09.26] It was so easy living day by day
[02:16.33] Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
[02:24.22] But now I need a little give and take
[02:31.23] The New York Times, The Daily News
[02:38.46]
[02:43.74] It comes down to reality
[02:46.91] And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
[02:51.32] Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
[02:59.33] I don't have any reasons
[03:03.50] I've left them all behind
[03:08.60] I'm in a New York state of mind
[03:16.32]
[03:54.60] It was so easy living day by day
[04:02.14] Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
[04:09.89] But now I need a little give and take
[04:17.15] The New York Times, The Daily News
[04:24.74]
[04:30.42] It comes down to reality
[04:33.12] And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
[04:38.01] Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
[04:45.46] I don't have any reasons
[04:49.23] I've left them all behind
[04:54.17] I'm in a New York state of mind
[04:58.64]
[05:05.63] I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
[05:43.71] 'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
