juke box hero

standing in the rain

with his head hung low

couldn't get a ticket

it was a sold out show

heard the roar of the crowd

he could picture the scene

put his ear to the wall

then like a distant scream

he heard one guitar

just blew him away

he saw stars in his eyes

and the very next day

bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store

didn't know how to play it

but he knew for sure

that one guitar

felt good in his hands

didn't take long

to understand

just one guitar

slung way down low

was one way ticket

only one way to go

so he started rockin'

ain't never gonna stop

gotta keep on rockin'

someday he's gonna make it to the top

and be a juke box hero

got stars in his eyes

he's a juke box hero

he took one guitar

juke box hero

stars in his eyes

juke box hero

he'll come alive tonight

in a town without a name

in a heavy downpour

thought he passed his own shadow

by the backstage door

like a trip through the past

to that day in the rain

and that one guitar made his whole life change

now he needs to keep rockin'

he just can't stop

gotta keep on rockin'

that boy has got to stay on top

and be a juke box hero

got stars in his eyes

he's a juke box hero

got stars in his eyes

yeah

juke box hero

got stars in his eyes

with that one guitar he'll come alive

come alive tonight

yeah

he's gotta keep rockin'

he just can't stop

gotta keep on rockin'

that boy has got to stay on top

and be a juke box hero

got stars in his eyes

he's a juke box hero

got stars in his eyes

just one guitar

put stars in his eyes

he's just a juke box hero

aah aah aah

juke box hero

juke box hero

he's got stars in his eyes

stars in his eyes
