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 second-hand 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, swung way down low

Was a one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started rocking, ain't never gonna stop

Gotta keep on rocking, someday 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 (stars in his eyes), he'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy down port

Thought he'd cast his own shadow by the backstage door

Like a trip through the past, from that day in the rain

That one guitar played his whole life chain

Now he needs to keep rocking, he just can't stop

Gotta keep on rocking, 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 a juke box hero (got stars in his eyes)

That one guitar (stars in his eyes), he'll come alive, come alive tonight

(Solo)

Yeah, he's gotta keep rocking, he just can't stop

Gotta keep on rocking, 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)

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

Now he's just a juke box hero

Juke box hero, juke box hero, he's got stars in his eyes

Stars in his eyes
