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
