JUKEBOX HERO
(Lou Gramm / Mick Jones)

Foreigner - 1981
Me First - 1999
Binge - 2002


Standing in the rain, with his head hung low 
Couldnt 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 rockin' 
Ain't never gonna stop 
Gotta keep on rockin' 
Someday he's gonna make it to the top 

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes 
Hes a juke box hero 
He took one guitar, juke box hero, stars in his eyes 
Juke box hero, 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 rockin' 
He just can't stop 
Gotta keep on rockin' 
That boy has got to stay on top 

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, got stars in his eyes 
With that one guitar he'll come alive 
Come alive tonight 

Yeah, he's gotta keep rockin' 
He just cant stop 
Gotta keep on rockin' 
That boy has got to stay on top 

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes 
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes 
Just one guitar, put stars in his eyes 
Hes just a juke box hero, aah aah aah 
Juke box hero, juke box hero, he's got stars in his eyes 
Stars in his eyes
