Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Hear 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
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 a 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 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 stars in his eyes
Yeah JUKE BOX HERO got stars in his eyes
WITH THAT ONE GUITAR he'll come alive
Come alive tonight
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Hear 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
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 a 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 stars in his eyes
JUKE BOX HERO he'll come alive tonight
