Lead vocal: Claude Some folks like to get away Take a holiday from the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami beach or to Hollywood I'm taking 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 limosines Been high in the rockies under the evergreens I know what I'm needing and I don't want to waste more time I'm in a New York State of mind It was 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 and the Daily News It comes down to reality and it's find with me cause I've let it slide Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside Don't have any reasons , I've 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 and The Daily News
