Dead battery. Clicking indicates that the starter doesn't have the power to turn the motor over. Turn your lights on and check your battery voltage with a DMM.

joey o, welcome to FTE!

You have 1 or more dead batteries, a bad alternator or corroded battery cables. Time to open the hood and start investigating.
