Juke Box Hero ('Nearly Unplugged')

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
He couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold-out show
He heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
He put his ear to the wall, and like a distant scream

He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes and the very next day
He bought his beat of six-string in some secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure

One guitar feels good in his hands
It 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'
Just can't stop

He gotta keep on rockin'
He's got to stay on top
He's just a jukebox hero (he's got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero (oh-oh)
He just wanna be a jukebox hero (he's got stars in his eyes)
Jukebox hero, he'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
He 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

He gotta keep on rockin'
He's got to stay on top
He just wanna be a jukebox hero (he's got stars in his eyes)
He's a jukebox hero
He just wanna be a jukebox hero (he's got stars in his eyes)
Jukebox hero, he'll come alive tonight
