Alternatives for this artist

G
I was walkin' down the street
Bb
When out the corner of my eye
C Bb / F
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me

G
She said I never seen a man
Bb
Who looked so all alone
C Bb / F
Oh could you use a little company

G
And if you pay the right price
Bb
Your evening will be nice
C Bb / F
You can go and send me on my way

G
I said you're such a sweet young thing
Bb
Why do you do this to yourself
C Bb F
She looked at me and this is what she said

[Chorus:]
G Bb F
There ain't no rest for the wicked
G Bb F
Money don't grow on trees
G
I got bills to pay
G
I got mouths to feed
G Bb F
Ain't nothing in this world for free
G
No I can't slow down
Bb F
I can't hold back
G Bb F
Though you know I wish I could
G Bb F
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
G
Until we close our eyes for good

G
Not even 1 minutes later
Bb
I'm still walkin' down the street
C Bb / F
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
G
And then he swept up from behind
Bb
He put a gun up to my head
C Bb / F
He made it clear he wasn't lookin' for a fight

G
He said give me all you got
Bb
I want your money not your life
C Bb / F
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice

G
I told him you can have my cash
Bb
But first you know I gotta ask
C Bb / F
What made you want to live this kind of life

[Chorus]

G Bb F
There ain't no rest for the wicked
G Bb F
Money don't grow on trees
G
I got bills to pay
G
I got mouths to feed
G Bb F
Ain't nothing in this world for free
G
No I can't slow down
Bb F
I can't hold back
G Bb F
Though you know I wish I could
G Bb F
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
G
Until we close our eyes for good

G
Well now a couple hours passed
Bb
And I was sitting in my house
C Bb / F
The day was winding down and coming to an end

G
So I turned to the TV
Bb
And flipped it over to the news
C Bb / F
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend

G
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
Bb
He'd taken money from the church
C Bb / F
He'd stuff his bank account with righteous dollar bills

G
But even still I can't say much
Bb
Because I know we're all the same
C Bb / F
Oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

[Chorus]

G Bb F
There ain't no rest for the wicked
G Bb F
Money don't grow on trees
G
I got bills to pay
G
I got mouths to feed
G Bb F
Ain't nothing in this world for free
G
No I can't slow down
Bb F
I can't hold back
G Bb F
Though you know I wish I could
G Bb F
No there ain't no rest for the wicked
G
Until we close our eyes for good
