New York State of Mind — текст песни (Billy Joel)

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.
