text: Look, um
  At this point in the show, I would ordinarily go on to a certain song
  Which Ill 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 havent thought about this song for a long time and maybe its because Im 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
  Im gonna do this if its okay with you
  Some folks like to get away
  Take a holiday from the neighbourhood
  Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood
  But Im taking a Greyhound
  On the Hudson River line
  Cause Im in a New York state of mind
  You know what I mean?
  Ive seen all the movie stars
  In their fancy cars and their limousines
  Ive been high in the Rockies
  Under the evergreens, oh
  But I know what Im needing
  And I dont wanna waste more time
  Cause Im in a New York state of mind
  And it comes down to reality
  And its fine with me cause Ive let it slide
  I dont care if its Chinatown or on Riverside, yeah, no
  Cause I dont have any reasons, I left them all behind
  Cause Im in a, Im in a New York state of mind
  Oh, yeah, ah
  Im in a New York state of mind
  I love you so much, I love being here
