I hopped off the plane at LAX
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame, excess (whoa!)
Am I gonna fit in?

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

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous

That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay Z song was on
And the Jay Z song was on
And the Jay Z song was on

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, yeah
Movin' my hips like, yeah

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

Get to the club in my taxicab
Everybody's lookin' at me now
Like who's that chick that's rockin' kicks?
She's 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 turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous

That'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 playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, yeah
Movin' my hips like, yeah

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
They know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

Feel like hopping on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me every time (every time)
The DJ plays my song and I feel all right

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, yeah
Movin' my hips like, yeah

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
They know I'm gonna be okay (they know I'm gonna be okay)
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away (the butterflies fly away)
I'm noddin' my head like, yeah
Movin' my hips like, yeah

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
They know I'm gonna be okay (they know I'm gonna be okay)
Yeah, it's a party in the USA (a party in the USA)
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
