juke box hero lyrics

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

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 an 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.
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
Juke Box Hero

Juke Box Hero got stars in his eyes
stars in his eyes.
