Conquering Fools > Any Time Now

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
i'm looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
uh huh huh

a people come and but people go
but they never know what is going on
so they gotta try to be what they want to be
what the hell is happening to me

i hit the road and i rolled up north
i'm looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
well i set out about an hour ago
looking for my gold, and i'm saying hey oh
and i went down looking for that big
that big, baby, big brass show
and so i, i went and then i start to go
walking down the same old, same old road
thinking to myself, this is 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 were inside my head
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 fools are at the bottom of it all

when no substance can control you, you done conquered that fool
and when that alcohol cannot own you, you done conquered that fool
and when no one person runs you, you must conquer that fool
and when you learn in them books everything you need to know
well you can conquer them fools
you can conquer any fool that you like
ya'll don't have to go
