Juke box hero
The Foreigner Lyrics

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
The singer is stuck outside in the rain, sad and disappointed that he couldn't get a ticket for the concert that's already sold out.

Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
The show is so popular that all the available tickets have already been sold out.

Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
The sound of the excited crowd's cheers and screams gives the singer an idea of how amazing the concert must be.

Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
He tries to listen to the music from outside by putting his ear against the wall, and it sounds like a distant but powerful scream from the guitar.

He heard one guitar, just blew him away
The sound of the guitar that he heard through the wall was so impressive and enchanting that it left a lasting impression on him.

He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
He felt inspired and motivated by that one guitar and decided to buy a guitar himself the next day, believing that he too can become a rockstar.

Bought a beat up six string, in a secondhand store
He found a used and cheap guitar in a store that sells secondhand items.

Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
Even though he had no experience in playing guitar, he had a strong conviction that he could learn and become a great guitarist.

That one guitar, felt good in his hands, didn't take long, to understand
Once he started playing the guitar, he realized that it felt comfortable in his hands, and he quickly learned how to play it.

Just one guitar, slung way down low
He only had one guitar, which he carried low when he played it, giving him a cool and rockstar-like appearance.

Was a one way ticket, only one way to go
He knew that becoming a rockstar was his only option, and he had to work hard and keep going until he made it.

So he started rockin', ain't never gonna stop
He began his journey as a aspiring rockstar and was determined never to give up or quit.

Gotta keep on rockin', someday gonna make it to the top
His ultimate goal was to become an accomplished and famous rockstar, and he knew that he had to continue playing and improving his skills to achieve that.

And be a juke box hero, (got stars in his eyes) he's a juke box hero
He aspires to become a legendary figure in the world of music, who produces hit songs that people want to hear and play on jukeboxes.

He took one guitar (juke box hero stars in his eyes)
By playing that one guitar and pursuing his dream, he becomes a hero and an inspiration to others who also want to pursue music.

Juke box hero, (stars in his eyes) he'll come alive tonight
The artist, now a successful rockstar, will take the stage and perform, bringing life and energy to the concert venue.

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
The artist recalls a rainy night in a nondescript town during his journey as an aspiring rockstar.

Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
As he walks past the backstage door, he sees his reflection in the water and feels like he's seeing a glimpse of his own future success.

Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
The present moment feels like a flashback to that rainy night when he first heard the sound of the guitar that inspired him to pursue music.

And that one guitar, made his whole life change
That one guitar became the catalyst for his entire life's journey, which led him to become a rockstar.

Now he needs to keep on rockin', he just can't stop
Even though he has achieved great success, he knows that he needs to keep playing and improving to maintain his position as a rockstar.

Gotta keep on rockin', that boy has got to stay on top
To remain successful, he has to keep producing hit songs and remain popular among fans.

With that one guitar (stars in his eyes)
Throughout his journey, his love for that one guitar that he bought as an aspiring rockstar stayed with him, and it remained a symbol of his success.

He'll come alive, come alive tonight, woah
When he takes the stage and performs, he feels alive and full of energy, inspiring and electrifying his fans.

Juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
