Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
Hop a flight to 1. ______________
Or to 2. ______________
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the 3. ______________ River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind
I've seen all the 4. ______________
In their fancy cars and their 5. ______________
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want 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
But now I need a little give and take
The 6. ______________, 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 7. ______________ or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
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
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, 8. ______________
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 9. ______________
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 10. ______________ on the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
