I was walkin' 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 looked so all alone

Oh could you use a little company

And if you pay the right price

Your evening sill be nice

You can go and send me on my way

I said you're such a sweet young thing

Why you do this to yourself

She looked at me and this is what she said

[Chorus]

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 nothing in this world for free

No I can't slow down

I can't hold back

Though you know I wish I could

No there ain't no rest for the wicked

Until you close our eyes for good

Not even 15 minutes later

I'm still walkin' down the street

When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight

And then he swept up from behind

He put a gun up to my head

He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight

He said give me all you got

I want your money not your life

But if you try to make amove I won't thind twice

I told him you can have my cash

But first you know I gotta ask

What made you want to live this kind of life

[Chorus]

Well now a couple hours past

And I was sitting in my house

The day was winding down and comming

To an end

So I turned on thetv

And flipped it over to the news

And what I saw I almost couldn't

Comprehend

I saw a preacher man in cuffs

He'd taken money from the church

He'd stuff his bank account with righteous

Dollar bills

But even still I can't say much

Because I know we're all the same

Oh yes we all seed out to satisfy those thrills
