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 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 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
But 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 
StatesideI'd say he's doin' 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 his blue collar hell
Well 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 hell
Time loves a hero
Well they say time loves a hero
