Hello everybody! This is happening, thank you for having me. This is very cool. It's good to be back in New York, so I feel like this is an appropriate song. It's also an appropriate time to ask, \"How is everybody doing?\" Right? It's something you do.
Hmmm
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
I've seen all the movie stars In those fancy cars and their limousines Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens But I know what I'm needing And I don't want to waste more time 'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
Oh!
[Let me tell 'ya] It was so easy living day by day I was out of touch with the rhythm and blues [Nice] But now I need just a little give and take The New York Times, even The Daily News
It comes down to reality And that's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside [Oh] I don't have any reasons Oh, I've left them all behind Hmm, I'm in a New York state of mind
[Oh] It's a New York sax solo right there! Just sounds like New York, baby!
[You guys are great!] It was so easy [thank you] [it was incredible!] living day by day I was out of touch with the rhythm and blues But now I need just a little give and take Give me those New York Times on my iPad, maybe the leftover Daily News
Oh!
It comes down to reality And that's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide Don't care if it's a Chinatown or on Riverside I don't have any reasons 'Cause I've left them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind!
Oh, I'm just, I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line [Hmm... hit me again] 'Cause I'm in, I'm in a New York state of mind Oh!
