Lyrics
Standin' 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, slung 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 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
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rocking
That boy has got to stay on top
To be a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero (got stars in his eyes)
With just one just guitar (jukebox hero)
He put stars in his eyes
Now he's just a jukebox hero
Jukebox hero (stars, stars, stars)
Jukebox hero, he's got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes
