Oleta Adams - 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 taking a Greyhound
on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York State of mind.

I've seen all of those movie stars
and their fancy cars and limousines
I've been high in the Rockies
or under the evergreens.
But I know what I'm needing
and I'm not going to waste more time
I'm in a NewYork state of mind.

Bridge:
It was so easy living day by day
out of touch with the rhythm and blues
Now I need a little give and take
the New York Times and the Daily News, ohh

Comes down to reality and its fine with me
cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's China Town
or up on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
cause I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York State of mind

I don't have any reasons
cause I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind.

I'm in a New
I'm in a New- New York
I'm in a New
I'm in a New ooh ooh

New York state of mind
