I was walkin' 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 looked so all alone.

Oh, could you use a little company?

And if you pay the right price

Your evening will be nice

And you can go and send me on my way."

I said, "You're such a sweet young thing.

Why 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

And ain't nothing in this world for free

No, 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 walkin' down the street

When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight

And then he swept up from behind

He put a gun up to my head

He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight.

He said, "Give me all you got.

I want your money not your life,

But 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 gotta ask:

What made you wanna live this kind of life?"

He 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

And ain't nothing in this world for free

No, 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

Well, now a couple hours passed

And I was sitting in my house

The day was winding down and coming to an end

So I turned to 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

He'd taken money from the church

He'd 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

And ain't nothing in this world for free

No we can't slow down

We can't hold back

Though you know we wish we could

No there ain't no rest for the wicked

Until we close our eyes for good
