[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

,

[Chorus]
             
"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

              
thing in this 

           
world for free


.
         
I know I can't

 slow down,
     
I can't hold b

ack,
             
Though you kno

              
w, I wish I co

     
uld.
             
No there ain't

              
 no rest for t

       
he wicked,
             
Until we close

              
 our eyes for 

    
good".

[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]
             
He said "There

              
 ain't no rest

         
 for the wicke

d,
             
Money don't gr

           
ow on trees.
   
I got bills to

 pay,
         
I got mouths t

o feed,
             
There ain't no

              
thing in this 

          
world for free

.
         
I know I can't

 slow down,
     
I can't hold b

ack,
             
Though you kno

              
w, I wish I co

     
uld.
             
No there ain't

              
 no rest for t

       
he wicked,
             
Until we close

              
 our eyes for 

    
good".

[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 


money from the

 church,
              
He'd stuffed h

             
is bank accoun

              
t with righteo

            
us dollar bill

  
s.
              
But even still

 
 I can't say m

uch
              
Because I know

 
 we're all the

 same,
             
Oh yes we all 

            
seek out to sa

 
tisfy those th

rills.

[Chorus]
              
You know there

             
 ain't no rest

           
 for the wicke


d,
             
Money don't gr

        
ow on trees.
   
We got bills t

o pay,
         
We got mouths 

to feed,
             
There ain't no

              
thing in this 

           
world for free


.
         
Oh no we can't

 slow down,
     
We can't hold 

back,
             
Though you kno

              
w, we wish we 

     
could.
             
No there ain't

              
 no rest for t

       
he wicked,
             
Until we close

              
 our eyes for 

    
good
