Some folks like to get away, / Take a holiday from the neighborhood.

EB G7 Cm7 Ab9

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. (Gm7 F D7#9 Gm7)

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 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.

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line.
