[Verse 1]
             
I was walking 

     
down the stree

t,
              
When out the c

 
orner of my ey

e
             
I saw a pretty

              
 little thing 

        
approaching me

.
              
She said "I've

  
 never seen a 

man
      
Who looks so a

ll alone,
             
Could you use 

            
a little compa

 
ny?
        
If you pay the

 right price
       
Your evening w

ill be nice,
             
And you can go

              
 and send me o

       
n my way."
              
I said "You're

   
 such a sweet 

young thing
            
Why you do thi

       
s to yourself?

"
             
She looked at 

            
me and this is

             
 what she said

    
,

"Oh, there ain

              
't no rest for

                              
 the wicked,
             
Money don't gr

        
ow on trees.
   
I got bills to

 pay,
         
I got mouths t

o feed,
             
There ain't no

[Verse 2]
             
Not even fifte

     
en minutes lat

er
              
I'm still walk

 
ing down the s

treet,
             
When I saw a s

              
hadow of a man

        
 creep out of 

sight.
         
Then he walks 

up from behind
            
And puts a gun

 up to my head

,
             
He made it cle

              
ar he wasn't l

          
ooking for a f

ight.
          
He said "Give 

me all you've 

got
              
I want your mo


ney not your l

ife,
             
But if you try

              
 to make a mov

            
e I won't thin

      
k twice."
         
I said "You ca

n have my cash
              
But first you 

  
know I got to 

ask
              
What made you 

             
want to live t

            
his kind of li

    
fe?"

[Chorus]
             
"Oh, there ain

              
't no rest for

Money don't gr

I got bills to

[Verse 3]
        
Now a couple h

ours passed
             
And I was sitt


ing at my hous

e,
              
The day was wi

             
nding down and

            
 coming to an 

  
end.
       
So I turned on

 the TV
              
And flipped it

  
 over to the n

ews,
             
And what I saw

            
 I almost coul

          
dn't comprehen

d.
             
I saw a preach

              
er man in cuff

              
s he'd taken m


oney from the 

church,
              
He's got this 

             
bank account w

            
ith righteous 

        
dollar bills.
            
But even still

 I can't say m

uch
           
Because I know

 we're all the

 same,
              
Oh yes we've a

            
ll got to sati

            
sfy those thri

lls.

[Chorus]
             
"Oh, there ain

              
't no rest for

                              
 the wicked,
             
Money don't gr

I got bills to

 pay,
         
I got mouths t
