New York State Of Mind Lyrics - Dancing With The Stars

New York State of mind 

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 Rockies under the evergreens. 

I know what I'm needin', and I don't want to 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 its 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. 

It was so easy living 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 its 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.
