[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

So he started rockin'

Ain't never gonna stop

Gotta keep on rockin'

Someday gonna make it to the top

[Chorus]

And be a juke box hero, (Got stars in his eyes)

He's a juke box hero

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

Juke box hero, (Stars in his eyes), he'll come alive tonight

[Verse 3]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Now he needs to keep a-rockin'

He just can't stop

Gotta keep on rockin'

That boy has got to stay on top

[Chorus]

And be a juke box hero, (Got stars in his eyes)

He's a juke box hero, (Got stars in his eyes)

Yeah, juke box hero, (Stars in his eyes)

With that one guitar (Stars in his eyes)

He'll come alive

Come alive tonight

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, he's gotta keep a-rockin'

He just can't stop

Gotta keep on rockin'

That boy has got to be on top

[Chorus]

And be a juke box hero, (Got stars in his eyes)

He's a juke box hero (Ahh-ahh, ahh)

Juke box hero, (Stars, stars, stars, ahh-ahh, ahh)

Juke box hero, (Stars, stars)

He's got stars in his eyes

Stars in his eyes
