Time Loves a Hero

Well they say time loves a hero

But only time will tell

If he's real, he's a legend from heaven

If he ain't he was sent here from hellHear me well, seein' ain't always believin'

Just make sure it's the truth that you're seein'

Eyes sometimes lie, eyes sometimes lie

They can be real deceiving'I got an uncle in Puerto Rico

Spends his days in the sun

And his nights in the casinos

He left the States many years agoTook a fishin' boat to Puerto Rico

Now my aunt, she is sad and lonely

She'll never know that she drove him away

As a coward I admire his courageous waysWell they say time loves a hero

But only time will tell

If he's real, he's a legend from heaven

But if he ain't he was sent here from hellSome say my uncle, that he's a zero

His life is as a shell, he left it back at Stateside

I'd say he's doin' well, without his shell

Bumming 'round the beaches of Puerto RicoThe beauty of the sunrise and sunset

To his friends he wish he could tell

They're at home still runnin' for bells

Better San Juan than his blue collar hellWell they say time loves a hero

But only time will tell

But if he's real, he's a legend from heaven

But if he ain't he was sent here from hellTime loves a hero

Well they say time loves a hero
