Lyrics Oleta Adams – New York State Of Mind

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood

I’ve seen all of those movie stars
And their fancy cars and limousines
I’ve been high in the Rockies
Or under the evergreens
But I know what I’m needing
And I’m not going 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
Now I need a little give and take
The New York Times and the Daily News, oh

Comes down to reality and its fine with me
‘Cause I’ve let it slide
I don’t care if it’s China Town
Or up on Riverside
I don’t have any reasons
‘Cause I’ve left them all behind
I’m in a New York State of mind

I don’t have any reasons
‘Cause I’ve left them all behind
I’m in a New York state of mind

I’m in a New
I’m in a New, New York

New York state of mind
