Karaoke New York State of Mind Billy Joel

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, hmm

I've 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

Hmm

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm 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 'cos I've let it slide

Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

I don't have any reasons left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind

Hmm oh yeah

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

But now I need a little give and take the New York Times the Daily News

Woah oh

It comes down to reality and it's fine with me 'cos I've let it slide

Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind, hmm

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line

'Cos I'm in

I'm in a New York state of mind yeah yeah
