New York State Of Mind

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
