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
