Some folks like to get away
For a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood, ooh ooh

But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line

I'm in a New York state of mind

Ooh, It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times,
The Daily News

Oh, 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, ooh ooh

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

Oh!
I'm just taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in

I'm in a New York
state
of
Mind

Ooh, Oh

New York
State
Of mind
