New York State of Mind
Billy Joel
Some folks like to get away
For a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood, 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
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
