Ain't No Rest for the Wicked

I was walking down the street

In the corner of my eye

I saw a pretty thing approaching me

She said she never seen a man so alone

Could she use a little company

If you pay the right price

Then your evening can be nice

Then you go and send me on my way

You're such a pretty young thing

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 mouths to feed

Ain't nothin' in this life for free

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

But you know I wish I could

There ain't no rest for the wicked

'Til we close our eyes for good

Not fifty minutes later

I'm still walking down the street

And a shadow man crept out of sight

Swept up from behind

Put a gun to my head

Made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight

Give me all you've got

I want your money, not your life

Make a move and I won't think twice

Have my cash, but first I gotta ask

What makes you want to live this kind of life?

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 nothin' in this life for free

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

But you know I wish I could

There ain't no rest for the wicked

'Til we close our eyes for good

A couple hours passed

I was sitting in my house

Day was winding down and coming to an end

I flipped on the TV, slipped on the news

What I saw I just can't comprehend

Preacher man, take 'em from the church

Fill his bank with righteous bills

Still I can't say much, we're all the same

Trying to see the same old thrills

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 nothin' in this life for free

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

But you know I wish I could

There ain't no rest for the wicked

'Til we close our eyes for good

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 nothin' in this life for free

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

But you know I wish I could

There ain't no rest for the wicked

'Til we close our eyes for good

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 nothin' in this life for free

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

But you know I wish I could

There ain't no rest for the wicked

'Til we close our eyes for good
