New York State of Mind

[00:54.87] Some folks like to get away

[00:59.64] Take a holiday from the neighbourhood

[01:02.39] Hop a flight to Miami Beach

[01:06.65] Or to Hollywood

[01:11.41] But I'm taking a Greyhound

[01:14.67] On the Hudson River Line

[01:19.93] I'm in a New York state of mind

[01:30.71] I've seen all the movie stars

[01:34.47] In their fancy cars and their limousines

[01:38.48] Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens

[01:46.00] But I know what I'm needing

[01:51.26] And I don't want to waste more time

[01:56.02] I'm in a New York state of mind

[02:08.05] It was so easy living day by day

[02:15.07] Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

[02:22.34] But now I need a little give and take

[02:30.36] The New York Times, The Daily News

[02:38.64] It comes down to reality

[02:46.16] And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide

[02:50.41] Don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside

[02:56.70] I don't have any reasons

[03:01.71] I've left them all behind

[03:06.97] I'm in a New York state of mind

[03:18.02] It was so easy living day by day

[04:02.13] Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

[04:11.15] But now I need a little give and take

[04:16.92] The New York Times, The Daily News

[04:25.19] It comes down to reality

[04:32.96] And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide

[04:37.22] Don't care if it's Chinatown or up on Riverside

[04:40.00] I don't have any reasons

[04:49.79] I've left them all behind

[04:54.05] I'm in a New York state of mind

[05:04.82] I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line

[05:13.84] 'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
