Aint No Rest For The Wicked lyrics

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, or 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 mouths to feed, there ain t nothing in this world for free.
I know I can t slow down, I can t hold back though you know I wish I could, oh 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 of sight, then he swept 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 first you know I ve got to ask, what made you want to live this kind of life?

He said there aint no rest for the wicked, money don t grow on trees, I got bills to pay I got mouths to feed aint nothing in this world for free.
I know I can t slow down, I can t hold back though you know I wish I could oh 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 taking money from the church, he stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills but even still I can t say much cause I know were all the same, oh yes 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 can t slow down, we can t hold back though you know we wish we could. you no there aint no rest for the wicked, until we close our eyes for good.
