Lyrics: New York State Of Mind
Album: Turnstiles
Artist: Joel Billy
 

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to miami beach or hollywood.
I’m taking a greyhound on the hudson river line-
I’m in a new york state of mind.

I 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 needing and i don’t want to 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 rhythm and the 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 riverside,
I don’t have any reasons, i’ve left them all behind-
I’m in a new york state of mind.

Repeat 3rd verse

I’m just taking a greyhound on the hudson river line-
’cause i’m in a new york state of mind.
