[Verse 1]
I was walking
down the stree
t when out the
corner of my
eye
I saw a pretty
little thing
approaching me
She said "I've
never seen a
man who looks
so all alone,
Oh you could u
se a little co
mpany
And if you pay
the right pri
ce your evenin
g will be nice
,
And you can go
and send me o
n my way"
You're such a
sweet young th
ing, why did y
ou do this to
yourself?
She looked at
me and she sai
d,
[Chorus]
"No, no, there
ain't no rest
for the wicke
d
Money don't gr
ow on trees
I got bills to
pay, I got mo
uths to feed
There ain't no
thing in this
world for free
I know I can't
slow down, I
can't hold bac
k
Though you kno
w, I wish I co
uld
No, there ain'
t no rest for
the wicked
Am (Hold)
Until we close our eyes for good"
[Verse 2]
Not even fifte
en minutes lat
er I'm still w
alking down th
e street
I saw a shadow
of a man cree
p out of sight
And then he sw
ept up from be
hind, put a gu
n up to my hea
d
He made it cle
ar he wasn't l
ooking for a f
ight
He said,"Give
me all you've
got. I want yo
ur money not y
our life
But if you try
to make a mov
e I won't thin
k twice"
I said, "Take
my cash, but f
irst I gotta a
sk
What made you
live this kind
of life?" And
he said,
[Chorus]
"No, no, there
ain't no rest
for the wicke
d
Money don't gr
ow on trees
I got bills to
pay, I got mo
uths to feed
There ain't no
thing in this
world for free
I know I can't
slow down, I
can't hold bac
k
Though you kno
w, I wish I co
uld
No, there ain'
t no rest for
the wicked
Am (Hold)
Until we close our eyes for good"

[Verse 3]
Well, now a co
uple hours pas
sed, I was sit
ting in my hou
se
The day was wi
nding down and
coming to an
end
So I turned on
the TV and fl
ipped it over
to the news
And what I saw
I almost coul
dn't comprehen
I saw a preach
er man in cuff
s taking money
from the chur
ch
Stuffed his ba
nk account wit
h righteous do
llar bills
But I can't sa
y much 'cause
I know we're a
ll the same
We all need to
satisfy those
thrills.
[Chorus]
"No, no, there
ain't no rest
for the wicke
d
Money don't gr
ow on trees
I got bills to
pay, I got mo
uths to feed
There ain't no
thing in this
world for free
I know I can't
slow down, I
can't hold bac
k
Though you kno
w, I wish I co
uld
No, there ain'
t no rest for
the wicked
Am (Hold)
Until we close our eyes for good"
