I was walking down the street, When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
She said "I've 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,
And 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,
* "Oh, 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.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked, Until we close our eyes for good".
Not even fifteen minutes later I'm still walking down the street,
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
Then he walks up from behind And puts 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,
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
I said "You can have my cash But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"
