Conquering Fools - O.A.R.

I 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 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 brass 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
