That's the Real McCoy" - Sunset Haiz (Official Music Video)

"That's the Real McCoy" is a raw, soulful journey through life's unexpected twists and turns. It's a reminder that what looks perfect from a distance might be a lie, but true wisdom comes from embracing the messy, unpredictable path we're on. This song is for anyone who's ever felt like they're "runnin' late" on the journey to happiness, only to find the real truth was waiting for them all along.
Verse 1
I thought the grass was greener on the other side,
Packed up my heart and I took a ride.
But you can’t judge a book by a cover’s disguise,
What looked like gold was a fool in my eyes.

Chorus
That’s the real McCoy, oh can’t you see?
Life’s a crooked road of mystery.
Good things come to those who wait,
But I’m runnin’ late, I’m runnin’ late.

Verse 2
I was an early bird, I chased the dawn,
But the worm was gone before I came along.
And I’ve been a fly on the wall of this room,
Dreamin’ of love that might still bloom.

Chorus
That’s the real McCoy, oh can’t you see?
Life’s a crooked road of mystery.
Good things come to those who wait,
But I’m runnin’ late, I’m runnin’ late.

Bridge
We’re beating a horse that’s already gone,
Still singing the same old worn-out song.
But sometimes the truth wears a tired face,
And echoes of wisdom don’t fade with age.

Verse 3
Don’t throw the baby out with the bath,
Mistakes and laughter share the same path.
Every old saying has a spark of flame,
But love’s the one rule that will never change.

Final Chorus (double)
That’s the real McCoy, oh can’t you see?
Life’s a crooked road of mystery.
Good things come to those who wait,
But I’m runnin’ late, I’m runnin’ late.
That’s the real McCoy, oh can’t you see?
Life’s a crooked road of mystery.
Grass is greener where the heart belongs,
And we’ll keep singin’ cliché songs!
