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 seen all the movie stars in their 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
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 Riverside,
I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind.

어떤 이들은 떠나려하지,
홀리데이를 즐기러
비행기를 타고 마이애미 해변이나 할리우드로..
하지만 난 그레이하운드 버스를 타고 허드슨 강(뉴욕에 있음)으로 가지.
내 마음은 오직 뉴욕에 가있다구.
살면서 리무진 같은 멋진차를 타고다니는 영화배우들을
많이 보았지,
록키 산만큼 높은 곳에 올라가 보기도 했어,
하지만 내가 원하는 건..
난 더이상 지체할 수 없어
내 마음은 오직 뉴욕뿐.
리듬과 블루스 없이 하루하루살수는 있어
하지만 뉴욕타임즈와 데일리 뉴스가 정말 그립군.
