TIME LOVES A HERO

Music & lyrics by Little Feat

------------------------------------------------------------------

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
