[Rachel:]
Some folks like to get away
For 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:]
It comes 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 Line
[Rachel:]
'Cause I'm in
[Marley:]
I'm in a New York state of
[Both:]
Mind
[Rachel:]
New York State of Mind
