[Chorus: Billy Joel]
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
Me, I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind

[Verse 1: Tony Bennett]
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under evergreens
But I know what I'm really needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind

[Refrain: Billy Joel & Tony Bennett]
It was so easy living day by day, haha
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
Now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News
Woah-oh

[Bridge: Tony Bennett]
I'm in a New York state of mind
[Refrain: Tony Bennett & Billy Joel]
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch, out of touch with the rhythm and blues
Now I need a little give and take
Something like The New York Times, The Daily News
Ooh-woo-ooh-ooh, woah

[Verse 2: Tony Bennett & Billy Joel]
Come down to reality
It's fine with me 'cause I let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

[Chorus: Billy Joel & Tony Bennett]
I'm just taking a Greyhound, oh-oh, on the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind
Mind
New York
