Whenever you wanted to find my home
You frowned and said "Well the dang law should arrest ya"
This old house keeps falling apart
So I went down to the local Wal-Mart
And bought this Coleman lantern to impress ya
'Cause every light in the house is blown
I keep on a clappin' but they don't clap on
House looks like where the Amish live
There's really no point to pay the power bill
'Cause every light in the house is blown
The number's won't even light up on my telephone
'Cause every light in the house is blown
It got awful dang depressing
The bulbs all blew out one by one
And I just can't afford right now to replace them
Until then I'll sit here in the dark
'Cause I can't get this old generator to start
Now I've got four batteries but I don't wanna waste 'em
'Cause Every Light in the house is blown
I'd love to sell the place but it can't be shown
Looks just like where the Clampets lived
Before they packed up and moved to Beverly Hills
Every light in the house is blown
No more reading Country Weekly while I'm on the throne
'Cause every light in the house is blown
Every light in the house is blown
Can't see a thing 'till the crack of dawn
House looks like where Ben Franklin was born
Before he flew a kite in an electrical storm
Every light in the house is blown
I was hopin' maybe Trace would float me a loan
'Cause every light in the house is blown
