I was walkGing down the street,
When out the Bcorner of my eye
I saw a Cpretty little thing BapproachinFg me.
She said "I've Gnever seen a man
Who Blooks so all alone,
Could you Cuse a little BcompanFy?
If you Gpay the right price
Your Bevening will be nice,
And you can Cgo and send me on Bmy way.F"
I said "You're Gsuch a sweet young thing
Why you Bdo this to yourself?"
She Clooked at me and Bthis is what she Fsaid,
"GOh, there ain't no rest for the BwickeCd,F
GMoney don't grow on BtreCesF.
I Ggot bills to pay,
I got BmoutChs Fto feed,
There ain't Gnothing in this world for.
B C F
I know I Gcan't slow down,
I Bcan'Ct Fhold back,
Though you Gknow, I wish I couldB.
C F
No there Gain't no rest for the BwickeCd,F
Until we Gclose our eyes for Bgood".

Not even Gfifteen minutes later
I'm still walkiBng down the street,
When I saw Ca shadow of a man Bcreep out Fof sight.
Then he walks up Gfrom behind
And Bputs a gun up to my head,
He made it Cclear he wasBn't Flooking for a fight.
He said "Give Gme all you've got
I want Byour money not your life,
But if you Ctry to make Ba move FI won't think twice."
I said "You can Ghave my cash
But Bfirst you know I got to ask
What made Cyou want to Blive Fthis kind of life?"
GHe said "There ain't no rest for Bthe CwicFked,
GMoney don't grow on treBes.
C F
I Ggot bills to pay,
I got BmoutChs Fto feed,
There ain't Gnothing in this world Bfor CfreFe.
I know I Gcan't slow down,
I Bcan'Ct Fhold back,
Though you Gknow, I wish I couldB.
C F
No there Gain't no rest for the BwickeCd,F
Until we Gclose our eyes for Bgood".

Now a coupGle hours passed
And I was sittiBng at my house,
The day was Cwinding dowBn and Fcoming to an end.
So I turneGd on the TV
And flipped it Bover to the news,
And what I Csaw I almost BcouldFn't comprehend.
I saw a Gpreacher man in cuffs, he'd taken Bmoney from the church,
He'd stuffed his Cbank account with righteous dollar Bbills.F
But even still GI can't say much
Because I know Bwe're all the same,
Oh yes we Call seek out Bto satFisfy those thrills.
You know there Gain't no rest for the BwicCkeFd,
GMoney don't grow on BtreCesF.
We Ggot bills to pay,
We got BmouCthFs to feed,
There ain't Gnothing in this world for.
B C F
Oh no we Gcan't slow down,
We BcanC't Fhold back,
Though you Gknow, we wish we couBld.
C F
No there Gain't no rest for the BwickeCd,F
Until we Gclose our eyes for Bgood
