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 rockin', ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin', someday gonna make it to the top
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
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 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, stars in his eyes
With that one guitar, (stars in his eyes)
He'll come alive, come alive tonight...Woah
Yeah, he's gotta keep on rockin', 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
(Just one guitar) juke box hero, (aah aah aaah) got stars in his eyes
He's just a juke box hero, aah aah aaah
Juke box (stars) hero, (stars, stars) juke box hero, (stars, stars)
He's got stars in his eyes, stars in his eyes

Review about Juke Box Hero wtf!!!!???? | Reviewer: Daniel | 5/28/09
dude why hasn't anyone reviewed this song??????
I am not joking, this song is for sure one of the greatest songs of all time! you have to listen to this song, because you will not regret it and you will come back to this page, write a reply and say thank you lord!
This song expresses a man's passion for rock when he listened to a person playing in a concert one time. he then was walking down a street one day and looked in a glass window of a music store when he saw the guitar that changed his life. he knew from then on, that guitar, without even know how to play it, would be his key to playing rock which he discovered at that one concert. then, many years later, he started walking up to play rock in his own concert, and he remembered that one guitar (which i think he remembers every concert, but not sure). That guitar made him a jukebox hero.
And of course, Foreigner is a great band, although under-appreciated by way too many ppl (probably because they can't play live good at all, which is surprising judging by the lyrics of many of his songs, this one and Hot Blooded especially). He has enough top hits to fill a CD, a CD of which people who lived through the 80's would recognize every song. Although there are many great artists, Foreigner plays their songs straight from the heart, and each song actually relates to their own life every time (except probably Dirty White Boy, and maybe Girl on the Moon).
By the way, anyone who wants to know, Foreigner is AOR, and also, they made the transition from the 70's to the 80's without losing success unlike most other bands. Eventually, toward the mid-80's, they started getting into power ballads which turned out to be phenomenally successful, their two most known power ballads are I want to Know what Love Is, and I've been Waiting for a Girl like You. Unfortunately, Say You will in 1987 was his last hit period. 5 Albums before Inside Information, and that was it.
