SOME FOLKS LIKE TO GET AWAY
TAKE A HOLIDAY FROM
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
HOP A FLIGHT TO MIAMI BEACH
OR TO HOLLYWOOD
BUT I'M TAKIN' A GREYHOUND
ON THE HUDSON RIVER LINE
I'M IN A NEW YORK
STATE OF MIND
MMM...
I'VE SEEN ALL THE MOVIE STARS
IN THEIR FANCY CARS
AND THEIR LIMOUSINES
BEEN HIGH IN THE ROKIES
UNDER THE EVERGREENS
BUT I KNOW WHAT I'M NEEDIN'
AND I DON'T WANNA
WASTE MORE TIME
I'M IN A NEW YORK
STATE OF MIND
IT WAS SO EASY
LIVIN' DAY BY DAY
OUT OF TOUCH
WITH THE RHYTHM AND 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 RIVERSIDE
I DON'T HAVE ANY REASONS
I'VE LEFT THEM ALL BEHIND
I'M IN A NEW YORK
STATE OF MIND
WOAH, YEAH
IT WAS SO EASY
LIVING DAY BY DAY, YEAH
OUT OF TOUCH
WITH THE RHYTHM AND BLUES
BUT NOW I NEED
A LITTLE GIVE AND TAKE
THE NEW YORK TIMES
THE DAILY NEWS
WOAH...
IT COMES DOWN TO REALITY
IT'S FINE WITH ME
'CAUSE I'VE LET IT SLIDE
I DON'T CARE IF IT'S CHINATOWN
OR ON RIVERSIDE
I DON'T HAVE ANY REASONS
I'VE LEFT THEM ALL BEHIND
I'M IN A NEW YORK
STATE OF MIND
MMM...
I'M JUST TAKIN' A GREYHOUND
ON THE HUDSON RIVER LINE
'CAUSE I'M IN A
I'M IN A NEW YORK
STATE OF
MIND...
YEAH, YEAH...
