Jukebox Hero
Standing in the rain
With his head hung low
He couldn't get a ticket
It was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd
He could picture the scene
Put his head to the wall
And like a distant scream
He heard one guitar
It just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes
And the very next day
He bought a beat up six string
In the second hand store
Didn't know how to play it
But he knew for sure
That one guitar
Felt good in his hands
It 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'
And he's never gonna stop
Gonna keep on rockin'
Someday gonna make it to the top
And be a jukebox hero
(Got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero
He took one guitar
Jukebox hero
(Stars in his eyes)
He'll come alive tonight
In a town without a name
In a heavy downpour
Thought he cast 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 keepa rockin'
He just can't stop
Gonna keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top
And be a jukebox hero
(Got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero
Yeah, jukebox hero
(Stars in his eyes)
With that one guitar
He'll come alive
Come alive tonight
Yeah, he's gotta keepa rockin'
Just can't stop
Gonna keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top
With his head hung low
He couldn't get a ticket
It was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd
He could picture the scene
Put his head to the wall
And like a distant scream
He heard one guitar
It just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes
And the very next day
He bought a beat up six string
In the second hand store
Didn't know how to play it
But he knew for sure
That one guitar
Felt good in his hands
It 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'
And he's never gonna stop
Gonna keep on rockin'
Someday gonna make it to the top
And be a jukebox hero
(Got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero
He took one guitar
Jukebox hero
(Stars in his eyes)
He'll come alive tonight
In a town without a name
In a heavy downpour
Thought he cast his own shadow
By the backstage door
Like a trip through the past

Come alive tonight
Yeah, he's gotta keepa rockin'
Just can't stop
Gonna keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top
