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 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 rocking
He is never going to stop
Got to keep on rocking
Someday he's going to 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)
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 on rocking
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rocking
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)
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 on rocking
Just can't stop
Gotta keep on rocking
That boy has got to stay on top
And be a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)

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
