New York State Of Mind Lyrics
N.Y. State of Mind - Carmen McRae
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to miami beach or to hollywood
But me i'm takin' a greyhound on the hudson river line
I'm in a new york state of mind
Seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the rockies under the evergreens
But i know what i'm needin' and i don't wanna waste more time
I'm in a new york state of mind
It was so easy livin' day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now i know i need a little give and take
Baby
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
I'm just taking a greyhound on the hudson river line
Cause i'm in a new york state of mind
