[Verse 1]
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
Oh, could you use a little company?
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:

[Chorus]
"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
Oh 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"

[Verse 2]
Not even fifteen minutes later I`m still walking down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out 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 looking for a fight
He said, "Give me all you`ve 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 want to live this kind of life?"

[Chorus]
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
There ain`t nothing in this world for free
Oh 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"

[Verse 3]
Well now a couple hours passed and I was sitting in my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end
And 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, 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

[Chorus]
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
There 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
Oh no there ain`t no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good
