Marley/Rachel:
Some folks like to get away
For a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood, ooh ooh
But I'm taking a Greyhound 
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind

Ooh, 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

The New York Times,
The Daily News
Oh, [bad word] 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, ooh ooh 
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind!

Ooh hoo!
Oh oh hoo!

I 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!

Ooh

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

Ooh
Oh

New York State of mind
