[Verse 1]
I hopped off the plane at L.A.X
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess
Am 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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song, the bu*terflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, 'yeah'
I'm movin' my hips like, 'yeah'
I got my hands up, they're playing my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
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
[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song, the bu*terflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, 'yeah'
I'm movin' my hips like, 'yeah'
I got my hands up, they're playing my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A
[Bridge]
Feel like hopping on a flight
Back to my hometown tonight
Something stops me every time
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright
[Chorus]
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song, the bu*terflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, 'yeah'
I'm movin' my hips like, 'yeah'
I got my hands up, they're playing my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
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 bu*terflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, 'yeah'
I'm movin' my hips like, 'yeah'
I got my hands up, they're playing my song
I know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A
Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A
