Barbara Streisand - New York State of Mind lyrics

rate me

Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to miami beach or to hollywood

But I'm takin' a greyhound

On the hudson river line

I'm in a new york state of mind

Seen all those movie stars

And 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 need a little give and take

The new york times and the daily news

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 up on riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a new york state of mind

I don't have any reasons

Cause left them all behind

I'm in a new york, I'm in a new york state of mind...
