Conquering Fools

Set out on the voyage of the conquering fools
 Lookin' for the gold and the modern-day jewels
 It come to pass what was stuck in my head
 If I didn't quit on lookin', then I'm probably dead
 I hit the road and I rolled up north
 Lookin' for the origin, the place of my birth
 I didn't notice when I ran a red sign
 Hopin' that everything would really be fine, uh-huh
 People come and, but people go, but they
 They never know what is a goin' on
 So, they-hey, they gotta try to be what they wanna be
 What the hell is happenin' to me?
 I hit the road and I rolled up north
 Lookin' for the origin, the place of my birth
 I didn't notice when I ran a red sign
 Hopin' that everything would really be fine
 Well, I set out about an hour ago
 I'm lookin' for my gold, and I'm sayin', "Ay, oh"
 Then I went down lookin' for that big
 That big, baby, Big Brass show
 So, I, I went and then I started to go
 Walkin' down that same old, same old road
 Thinkin' to myself, "This quite a struggle
 What am I gonna do tomorrow?"
 I'm gonna find my gold
 Conquer me some fools, yeah
 A long, long time ago I found myself looking for fools
 And what I did not let myself know is that
 These fools are inside my mind
 I'd love to do right, all the time
 But I found there are times when I love to do so wrong
 And I know that the fool was the rat at the bottom of it all
 When no substance can control you
 You done conquer that fool
 And when that alcohol cannot own you
 You done conquer that fool
 And when no one person runs you
 You must conquer that fool
 And when you learnin' in books, everything you need to know
 You can conquer them fools
 You can conquer them fools
 Ya'll don't have to go
