Some folks like to get away
For a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
or to Hollywood
But i'm taking a breakhound
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 the 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 Riveside
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
