(Verse 1)
I hopped off the plane at LAX
With a dream and my guitar
I was lookin' for a brand new start
An open door, a brand new car
I was nineteen, never been to L.A.
Thought I was too young to stay
But I knew I couldn't turn around
And leave my dreams behind me, anyway
(Pre-Chorus)
Took a taxi to the Sunset Strip
Found a bar, got myself a drink
It wasn't long till I felt the beat
Movin' in my body, beneath my feet
(Chorus)
Party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, party in the U.S.A.
Overseas, yeah, we're gonna paint the town red
Tonight we're gonna celebrate
It's the good life, the good life
Party in the U.S.A.
We're gonna raise a glass, let's have a toast
To freedom and the things we love the most
(Verse 2)
I met this guy, said he was a star
He had a car, took me to the bar
We danced all night, he said I was his queen
But I knew he was just a fleeting dream
(Pre-Chorus)
He took me home, in a limousine
Told me I was beautiful, a movie scene
But I saw through his lies, he was a player
I'm not the kind of girl who stays a prisoner
(Chorus)
Party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, party in the U.S.A.
Overseas, yeah, we're gonna paint the town red
Tonight we're gonna celebrate
It's the good life, the good life
Party in the U.S.A.
We're gonna raise a glass, let's have a toast
To freedom and the things we love the most
(Bridge)
It's a party in the U.S.A., yeah
I'm just livin' life, livin' it my way, yeah
Got my music, got my friends, got my dreams
This is my story, what it means
(Chorus)
Party in the U.S.A.
Yeah, party in the U.S.A.
Overseas, yeah, we're gonna paint the town red
Tonight we're gonna celebrate
It's the good life, the good life
Party in the U.S.A.
We're gonna raise a glass, let's have a toast
To freedom and the things we love the most
(Outro)
Yeah, party in the U.S.A.
Party in the U.S.A.
Party in the U.S.A.
Party in the U.S.A.
