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 pay the right price, your evening will be nice,
You can go and send me on my way, 
I said your such a sweet young thing, why'd you do this to yourself? 
She looked at me and this is what she said. 

There ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees,
I got bills to pay i got a mouth to feed,
There aint nothing in this world for free. 
I can't slow down, 
I can't hold back,
Although you know i wish i could,
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good. 

Not even 15 minutes later, 
After walking down the street,
When i saw the shadow of a man creep out out of sight, 
Then he crept 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 wont think twice, 
I told him you can have my cash, 
But 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 dont grow on trees, 
I got bills to pay I got a mouth to feed 
Ain't nothing in this world for free. 
I can't slow down, 
I can't hold back,
Although you know I wish I could 
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,
He'd taken money from the church, 
He'd got a bank account with righteous dollar bills,
But even still I cant say much 'cause I know we're all the same, 
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. 
We cant slow down, 
We cant hold back 
Although you know we wish we could 
No there ain't no rest for the wicked, 
Until we close our eyes for good.
