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

Someday gonna make it to the top

He's a jukebox hero

He took one guitar (Jukebox hero, stars in his eyes)

Jukebox hero (Stars in his eyes)

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 a-rockin'

He just can't stop

Yeah, jukebox hero (Stars in his eyes)

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

Come alive tonight

Yeah, he's gotta keep a-rockin'

Just can't stop

That one guitar (Jukebox hero)

Put stars in his eyes

Yeah, he's just a Jukebox hero

Jukebox hero

Jukebox hero, he's got stars in his eyes

Stars in his eyes
