New York State of Mind Songtext
von Barbra Streisand

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 the 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 I′ve left them all behind
I'm in a New York, I′m in a New York state of mind
