Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[PreChorus]

So he started rocking

Ain't never gonna stop

Gotta keep on rocking

Someday, gonna make it to the top

[Chorus]

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 (Stars in his eyes)

[Verse 4]

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

[PreChorus]

Now, he needs to keep a-rocking

He just can't stop

Gotta keep on rocking

That boy has got to stay on top

[Chorus]

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 (Stars in his eyes)

With that one guitar, he'll come alive (Stars in his eyes)

Come alive tonight

[PreChorus]

Yeah, he's gotta keep a-rocking

He just can't stop

Gotta keep on rocking

That boy has got to stay on top

[Chorus]

And be a juke box hero (Got stars in his eyes)

He's a juke box hero (Got stars in his eyes)

And just one guitar put stars in his eyes (Juke box hero)

Now, he's just a juke box hero

[Outro]

Juke box hero

Juke box hero

He's got stars in his eyes

Stars in his eyes
