Some folks like to get away, take a holiday on the neighborhood, hop a flight to Miami or Hollywood. But I'm taking the Greyhound on the Hudson River Line. I'm in a New York state of mind. I've seen all the movie stars in the fancy cars and the limousine, 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 blues. But now I need a little give and take, the New York Times and the Daily News. Oh, it comes down to reality and it's fine with me cause I let it slide. I don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside. I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind.
