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
