About the Song
A swaggering modern country track where the narrator credits his partner—and God—for the songs he writes. With a bass-forward groove and a memorable chorus (“You’re my muse”), it keeps the vibe cool and direct while tying inspiration to faith. The track also features a drums-only solo break for extra energy and personality.

Lyrics
They talk about a whisper in the wind
Some kinda spirit lettin' songs come in
Waitin' on a lightning bolt from the blue
I ain't never had to do what they do
Mine walks barefoot across my floor
Hangs her towel on the top of the door
Says one little thing, and there it is
Three hours later, I'm writin' this
Ain't no ghost in the room
Ain't no magic in the air
Every time I find a song
You're somewhere in there
You're my muse
Ain't nothin' mystical
Girl, it's you
Yeah, it's that simple
Every time I need a song
I just look at you
God gave me music
And He gave me my muse
You were a line before I made it rhyme
Made me change the same word twenty times
Say somethin' clever talkin' on the phone
Then I got a hit song for your ride home
You've been the love song since our debut
Half the best songs start right with you
You said, “Let the drumsticks count it in”
Now listen to the beat you just put in
Ain't no ghost in the room
Ain't no magic in the air
Every time I find a song
You're somewhere in there
You're my muse
Ain't nothin' mystical
Girl, it's you
Yeah, it's that simple
Every time I need a song
I just look at you
God gave me music
And He gave me my muse
Drum Break
I know Who gave me everything I got
Every word I write, every note I caught
Maybe He knew what I'd someday do
When He put this whole life next to you
I know where the gift really comes from now
You play the muse, I make the sound
When God puts a new song in my reach
You're always how He gets it to speak
No séance
No smoke
No voices nobody knows
Got God above me
Got you right here
That's plenty inspiration
For the rest of my years
Final Chorus
You're my muse
Ain't nothin' mystical
Girl, it's you
Yeah, it's that simple
Every time I need a song
I just look at you
God gave me music
And He gave me my muse
I know my muse.
It's always been you.
Some kinda spirit lettin' songs come in
Waitin' on a lightning bolt from the blue
I ain't never had to do what they do
Mine walks barefoot across my floor
Hangs her towel on the top of the door
Says one little thing, and there it is
Three hours later, I'm writin' this
Ain't no ghost in the room
Ain't no magic in the air
Every time I find a song
You're somewhere in there
You're my muse
Ain't nothin' mystical
Girl, it's you
Yeah, it's that simple
Every time I need a song
