New York State Of Mind

New York State Of Mind - Mel Tormé

Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to Miami Beach

Or to Hollywood

But I'm talking a Greyhound

On the Hudson River Line

I'm in a New York state of mind

I've meet all the movie stars

In their fancy cars and their limousines

Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens

But I know my heart in the big town

And I don't want to waste more time

I'm in a New York state of mind

It comes down to reality

And it's fine with me

Cause I've let it slide

Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

I 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 The Daily News

It comes down to reality

And it's fine with me

Cause I've let it slide

Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've 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 New York

Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
