I was walking down the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me

She said I never seen a man
Who looks so all alone
Could you use a little company

If you could pay the right price
Your evening will be nice
Or you can go and send me on my way

I said you're such a sweet young thing
Why'd you do this to yourself
She looked at me and this is what she said

Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked

Money don't grow on trees

I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free

I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back

Though you know I wish I could

Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked

Until we close our eyes for good

Not even 15 minutes later
I'm still walking down the street

When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind
Put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight

He said give me all you've got
I want your money not your life
If you try to make a move I won't think twice

I told him you can have my cash
But first you know I've got to ask

What made you want to live this kind of life

He said there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
Ain't nothing in this world for free

I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back

Though you know I wish I could

Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked

Until we close our eyes for good

Now a couple hours past
And I was sitting in my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end

So I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend

I saw a preacher man in cuffs
Taking money from the church
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills

But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

You know there ain't no rest for the wicked

Money don't grow on trees

We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
Ain't nothing in this world for free
Oh no
We can't slow down
We can't hold back
Though you know we wish we could
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked

Until we close our eyes for good
