Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
They hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
ย
I've seen all the movie stars
And their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living, living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
Now wait a minute
But now I need just a little, a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News
ย
You know it comes down to reality
And that'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 left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
ย
Yes it was easy living, living day by day
Out of touch, out of touch with the rhythm, rhythm and blues
Oh but now I need, now I need me a little, a little give and take
Oh, the New York Times, the Daily News and Chinese food
You know it comes down to reality
And that's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside Road
I don't have any reasons, I 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
ย
I said I'm in a New York
ย
Stayed all night
Yeah

Under the direction of Frank Owens
This is a, it's a brand new thing
Oh no, oh you
No this, no it's not a handball
This is a, what?
No it's called "Just The Way You Are"
One, two, one, two, three, seven
