I set out on the voyage of the conquering fools Lookin' for the gold and the modern day j**els It come to pa** what was stuck in my head If I didn't quit on looking that I'd probably be 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 Well people come and people go But they never know what is going on So 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 Lookin for my gold and I'm sayin a-oh And I went down lookin for that big that big baby big bra** show So I, I went and then I started to go
Walkin down that same old same old road Thinkin to myself it's quite a struggle What am I going to do tomorrow? I'm gonna find my gold And 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 were inside my mind I loved to do right all the time But I found there are times when I loved to do so wrong And I know that the fools are at the bottom of it all When no substance can control you You done conquered that fool And when that alcohol can not own you You done conquered that fool And when no one person runs you You must conquer that fool And when you're learnin in books everything you need to know Well you can conquer them fools You can conquer them fools that's right Ya'll don't have to go
