Introdução: Some folks like to get away, Take a holiday from the neighborhood, 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. I've seen all the movie stars In their fancy cars and their limousines, Been high in the Rockys under the evergreens; I know what I'm needin', and I don't wanna waste more time I'm in a New York state of mind. Bridge: It was so easy livin' day by day Out of touch with the rhythym 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; I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside. I don't have any reasons; I 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 a New York state of mind.
