New York State Of Mind

New York State of Mind - Heaven is Shining

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 the movie stars

In their fancy cars and their limousines

Been high in the Rockys under the evergreens

I know what I'm needing

And I don't wanna 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 rhythym 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

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythym and blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times the Daily News

Whoa oh

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

I'm just taking a Greyhound

On the Hudson River line

Cause I'm in a

I'm in a New York state of mind
