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
