EMPIRE STATE OF MIND- NEW YOORRKK!!

by: Lydia Margaretha.

Glee - New York State Of Mind

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

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

It comes 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

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line

'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
