Lyrics
Some folks like to get awayTake a holiday from the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami Beach Or to Hollywood But I’m taking a Greyhound On the Hudson River Line I’m in a New York state of mindI’ve seen all the movie starsIn their fancy cars and their limousines Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens But I know what I’m needing And I don’t want to waste more time I’m in a New York state of mindIt was so easy living day by dayOut of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, The Daily NewsIt comes down to realityAnd 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 mindIt was so easy living day by dayOut of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, The Daily NewsIt comes down to realityAnd 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 mindI’m just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line‘Cause I’m in a New York state of mind
