Rachel:
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

Marley:
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

Rachel:
The New York Times,

Marley:
The Daily News

Rachel:
Oh, [bad word] down to reality
And it's fine with me
'cause I've let it slide

Marley:
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

Rachel:
I don't have any reasons

Marley:
I've left them all behind

Rachel:
I'm in a New York state of mind

Marley:
I'm just taking a Greyhound

Rachel:
On the Hudson River
