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
Look 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 home sick
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 a Jay Z song was on
And a Jay Z song was on

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I 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 taxi cab
Everybody's lookin' 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
Its 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 home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune
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,
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like yeah
Movin my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin my song
They know I'm gonna be ok
Yeah, It's a party in the USA
Yeah, It's a party in the USA

Feel like hoppin' 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 alright

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
They 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,
And the butterflies fly away
Noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
They know I'm gonna be ok
Yeah, It's a party in the USA
Yeah, It's a party in the USA
