New York State Of Mind

LEON RUSSELL · Life Journey 2014 · Track 07 of 09

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

I've seen all the movie stars In their fancy cars and their limousines Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens I know what I'm needing I don't want to waste much 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 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 on Riverside I don't have any reasons I've left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind

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 'cause 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

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line 'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
