I hopped off the plane at LAX
With the dream, my cardigan [bad word] to the land of fame excess
I gonna fit in

Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous

My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
'Cause when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z's song was on
And the Jay-Z's song was on
And the Jay-Z's song was on

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Nodding my head like yeah
Moving my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They're playing my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.

Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's looking at me now
Like "who's that chick, that's rocking kicks,
She gotta be from out of town"
So hard with my girls all around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo

My tummy's turning and I'm feeling kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
It's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And a Britney's song was on
And the Britney's song was on
And the Britney's song was on

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Nodding my head like yeah
Moving my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They're playing my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

Feel like hopping on the flight
Back to my hometown tonight
Something stops me everytime
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Nodding my head like yeah
Moving my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They're playing my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Nodding my head like yeah
Moving my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They're playing my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
