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 hell




Hear 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 deceivin'




I got an Uncle in Puerto Rico


Spends his days in the sun


his nights in the casinos

He left the States many years ago


Took 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 ways




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 hell





Some 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' pretty 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 runnin' for bells


Better San Juan than that blue collar hell




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 hell
