I hopped off the plane at LAX
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess (woah)
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 famousMy 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, the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, 'yeah'
Movin' my hips like, 'yeah'
Got my hands up, they're playing my song
They 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.AGet 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 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 onSo I put my hands up
They're playing my song, the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like, 'yeah'
Movin' my hips like, 'yeah'
