Time Loves a Hero

Well they say that 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 hell Hear me well Seeing ain't always believing Just make sure it's the truth that you're seeing 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 ago Took a fishing 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 ways Well they say that time loves a hero But only time will tell If he's real he's a legend from heaven If he ain't he's a mouthpiece from hell Some say my uncle that he's a zero His life as a shell, he left it back at Stateside I'd say he's doing well without his shell Bumming 'round the beaches of Puerto Rico The beauty of the sunrise and sunset To his friends he wish he could tell They're at home still running for bells Better San Juan than that blue collar hell Well they say that 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 hell
