Billy Joel New York State Of Mind Lyrics

New York State Of Mind Lyrics

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.

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.
Oh yeah.

It was so easy
living 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.
Who, oh, oh
whoa who.

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, I'm in a New York state of mind.
