Juke Box Hero Lyrics
[FINN]
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
[RYDER]
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
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
[RYDER]
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
[FINN & RYDER]
Gotta keep on rockin'
[RYDER]
Someday he's gonna make it to the top
[FINN & RYDER]
And be a Juke Box Hero got stars in his eyes
[RYDER]
He's a Juke Box Hero
Yeah
[FINN]
He took one guitar
[FINN & RYDER]
Juke Box Hero got stars in his eyes
Juke Box Hero he'll come alive tonight
[RYDER]
In a town without a name
In a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow
By the backstage door
Gotta keep on rockin'
[RYDER]
Someday he's gonna make it to the top
[FINN & RYDER]
And be a Juke Box Hero got stars in his eyes
[RYDER]
He's a Juke Box Hero
Yeah
[FINN]
He took one guitar
[FINN & RYDER]
Juke Box Hero got stars in his eyes
Juke Box Hero he'll come alive tonight
[RYDER]
In a town without a name
In a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow
By the backstage door
[FINN]
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
[FINN & RYDER]
Rockin' he just can't stop -
Gotta keep on rockin'
[FINN]
That boy has got to stay on top
[FINN & RYDER, (FINN)]
And be a Juke Box Hero got stars in his eyes
He's a Juke Box Hero
Yeah
Juke Box Hero (Oh)
With that one guitar he'll come alive
Come alive tonight
(Yeah) He's gotta keep on rockin'
[FINN]
He just can't stop

To that day in the rain
And that one guitar
Made his whole life change
Now he needs to keep
[FINN & RYDER]
Rockin' he just can't stop -
Gotta keep on rockin'
[FINN]
That boy has got to stay on top
