I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.
With a dream and 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 home sick
Too much pressure and I’m nervous
It’s when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on

So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Noddin’ my head like yeah
Movin’ 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 rockin’ kicks?
She gotta be from out of town”
So hard with my girls not 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 home sick
Too much pressure and I’m nervous
It’s when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on

So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Noddin’ my head like yeah
Movin’ my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They’re playin 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.

Feel like I’ve been on a flight
Back to my hometown tonight
Something stops me every time
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright

So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Noddin’ my head like yeah
Movin’ my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They’re playin 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.

So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song
The butterflies fly away
Noddin’ my head like yeah
Movin’ my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They’re playing my song
I know I’m gonna be OK

Yeah,
