New York State Of Mind (Live at Radio City Music Hall)

[Intro]
Look, um
At this point in the show, I would ordinarily go on to a certain song
Which I'll still play after this but
I had a, I woke up, I swear on my life, I woke up today
And I was, I had this certain song on my mind, and I
In my head I was thinking, if I haven't thought about this song for a long time and maybe it's because I'm here
But I thought about that song today
Maybe I should sing this song tonight at this show and only this show and sing this song
Just since we are where we are
I'm gonna do this if it's okay with you

[Verse 1]
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
You know what I mean?

[Verse 2]
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
I've been high in the Rockies
Under the evergreens, oh
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't wanna waste more time
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind

[Verse 3]
And it comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside, yeah, no
'Cause I don't have any reasons, I left them all behind
'Cause I'm in a, I'm in a New York state of mind
Oh, yeah, ah

[Outro]
I'm in a New York state of mind
I love you so much, I love being here
