Your alternator or your battery is almost dead.

Take you battery to Autozone and ask them to do a test.

Yep, battery or alternator. Hopefully just battery.

Same thing happened to me about a month ago. I took it to an auto parts store and sure enough it was the battery like people here said.

FYI anyone having this problem later or if your battery or alternator is ever in question you can simply start or jumpstart the car, unhook the battery terminal(s) and if the car stays running...it's your battery...alternately, if it dies, then it is your alternator...quick, easy and cheap(free).....
