Time Loves a Hero

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

Phish played that this year at the New Years show. Really a beautiful song. I think Little Feat wrote it.
The Big Wu Puerto Rico Feeling low down, sinking slow like a half ton Chevy with a heavy load, But I slept like a baby beneath the stars last night and it was out of sight. I've been misunderstanding every road Thinking every strech of highway's got a pot of gold, I count my blessings on my right hand And I'm a lucky man.
Feeling tested, feeling mean I'm too tired of runnin' from the Big Machine, The Big Machine takes me to my baby's place So I can see your face. I break my back for a fifth of gin, Then I weep and wail about the shape I'm in, I got some money for a rainy day, And its on its way.
Arriba arriba los Corozones, Get out of bed Pueto Rico's on the telephone. The streets of Old San Juan they beckon, There's a sweet life there I reckon So I'll set sail for the coast with the most.
Feeling low down sinking slow, But my bags are all packed and I'm ready to go; I don't need pesos cuz I know they will take my dollar bills.
One little place on this big 'ol Earth has got me singing like a siren of a sweet rebirth, As sure as the devil's in the deep blue sea, There's a place for me.
(chorus)

Hello everyone. Been lurking for a while. Time for a toe in the water.
Great post NuggetsTheShaker.
I grew up in DC and Lowell George is a real icon around here tho folks don't remember him much now. I was at one of the Warner Theater shows where Little Feat was recording Waiting for Columbus during a week-long run. Might have been a little too young to really apprciate what was happening but had a good time just the same. Lowell George had soul.
China White
I said blow away, blow away
This cruel reality
And keep me from its storm
Suspicion has crept in, and ruined my life
I'm messed up, and hassled, and worn
Well its pure indignation
Just another sensation
And I'd like to knock on that door
But the boy he keeps on callin' for more
Yes and my sweet China White
She ain't here tonight
And love has robbed me blind
So cast away, cast away
From this ball full of pain
For it sinks beneath the waves
Yes and my sweet China White
She ain't here tonight
Oh and love has robbed me blind
Some sweet Maureen has robbed me blind
-- Lowell George
