New York State Of Mind Lyrics by Billy Joel
Friday, June 19, 2009
Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood.
Im taking a greyhound on the Hudson River line
I’m in a New York state of mind.
I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines,
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens,
But I know what Im needing and I dont want to waste more time-
I’m in a New York state of mind.
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the 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 Ive let it slide,
Don’t care if its chinatown or riverside,
I dont have any reasons, Ive left them all behind-
I’m in a new New York of mind.
Repeat 3rd verse
Im just taking a greyhound on the hudson river line-
cause I’m in a New York state of mind.
