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 hell

Hear me well

The 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 decievin'

Got an uncle in Puerto Rico

Spends his days in the sun

And his night in the casinos

He left the States many years ago

Took a fishing boat, 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'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 doin' well without his shell

Bummin' 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 this 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

Time loves a hero

Well, they say

Time loves a hero
