[Verse 1]
I was walkGing down the street,
When out the coBbrner of my eye
I saw a prCetty little thing apBbproachinFg me.
She said "I've nGever seen a man
Who loBboks so all alone,
Could you usCe a little BbcompanFy?
If you pGay the right price
Your evBbening will be nice,
And you can Cgo and send me on Bbmy way.F"
I said "You're suGch a sweet young thing
Why you Bbdo this to yourself?"
She loCoked at me and tBbhis is what she saFid,
[Chorus]
"GOh, there ain't no rest for the wiBbckeCd,F  
MGoney don't grow on BbtreCesF.
I gGot bills to pay,
I got mBboutChs Fto feed,
There ain't nGothing in this world for BbfrCeeF.
I know I Gcan't slow down,
I cBban'Ct Fhold back,
Though you kGnow, I wish I couldBb.C  F  
No there aGin't no rest for the wiBbckeCd,F  
Until we Gclose our eyes for goBbod"C.F  
[Verse 2]
Not even fGifteen minutes later
I'm still walkiBbng down the street,
When I saw Ca shadow of a man cBbreep out Fof sight.
Then he walks up Gfrom behind
And puBbts a gun up to my head,
He made it cClear he wasBbn't loFoking for a fight.
He said "Give mGe all you've got
I want Bbyour money not your life,
But if you tCry to make Bba move FI won't think twice."
I said "You can Ghave my cash
But fiBbrst you know I got to ask
What made yoCu want to lBbive thFis kind of life?"
[Chorus]
HGe said "There ain't no rest for thBbe wCicFked,
MGoney don't grow on treBbes.C  F  
I gGot bills to pay,
I got mBboutChs Fto feed,
There ain't Gnothing in this world foBbr fCreFe.
I know I Gcan't slow down,
I cBban'Ct Fhold back,
Though you kGnow, I wish I couldBb.C  F  
No there aGin't no rest for the wiBbckeCd,F  
Until we Gclose our eyes for goBbod"C.F  
[Verse 3]
Now a coupGle hours passed
And I was sittiBbng at my house,
The day was Cwinding dowBbn and Fcoming to an end.
So I turneGd on the TV
And flipped it Bbover to the news,
And what I sCaw I almost BbcouldFn't comprehend.
I saw a Gpreacher man in cuffs, he'd taken Bbmoney from the church,
He'd stuffed his Cbank account with righteous dollar Bbbills.F  
But even still GI can't say much
Because I know Bbwe're all the same,
Oh yes we alCl seek out Bbto satFisfy those thrills.
[Chorus]
You know there Gain't no rest for the BbwicCkeFd,
MGoney don't grow on BbtreCesF.
We Ggot bills to pay,
We got BbmouCthFs to feed,
There ain't nGothing in this world for BbfrCeeF.
Oh no we Gcan't slow down,
We BbcanC't Fhold back,
Though you kGnow, we wish we couBbld.C  F  
No there aGin't no rest for the wiBbckeCd,F  
Until we Gclose our eyes for goBbodC  F
