[Verse 1: Randall King]
The La-Z-Boy's been cavin' in
God knows what's growin' in the fridge
Fishbowl looks like the Dead Sea's in my home
All the wallpaper's been peelin' off
It's a duct tape hell and it won't stop
The hell you'd leave for, can't handle the load

[Chorus: Randall King]
It's a hard livin' Ilene
It's been all downhill since you left the old Airstream
Sink is full and my coffee pot's turned green
It's a hard livin' Ilene

[Verse 2: Cleto Cordero]
The drive to town's been slower
I been takin' the John Deere mower
'Cause you can't take a truck sittin' on cinderblock wheels
The washer's on the front lawn
I got mad 'cause it wouldn't turn on
Now there's somethin' else the neighborhood'll prob'ly steal

[Chorus: Cleto Cordero]
It's a hard livin' Ilene
It's been all downhill since you left the old Airstream
Sink is full and my coffee pot's turned green
It's a hard livin' Ilene
(Here it is, boys)
[Instrumental]
(Bring it back down, boys)

[Verse 3: Randall King & Cleto Cordero]
The AC window unit
When I plugged her in I blew it
Now it's a hundred and ten
And I'm sweatin' all the Blue Ribbon out

[Chorus: Randall King & Cleto Cordero]
It's a hard livin' Ilene
It's been all downhill since you left the old Airstream
Toilet's broke, it looks like a murder scene
It's a hard livin' Ilene
