🔥 About the Song
Welcome to The Song That Wasn’t There — a groovy, playful country melody from The Christian Cowboy Life. This song is all about embracing the humor in writer’s block and celebrating the music that comes in unexpected ways. Whether you’re strumming a guitar on the porch or reminiscing about small-town life, it’s a reminder to enjoy the journey and let music flow freely.
🕊️ “Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.” – Psalm 96:1
💬 Behind the Song
The inspiration came from those quiet moments where the muse just won’t appear. Instead of stressing, the song celebrates the fun of nothingness and the joy of music itself. It’s got a little grit, a whole lotta grace, and the kind of down-home joy only God can stir up in a cowboy’s heart.

“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth.” – Psalm 100:1
Let this truth ride with you: even in quiet moments, music and joy are gifts from the Lord that lift us higher than any horse ever could.
Lyrics
[Verse]
Sittin' on my porch with a guitar in hand,
Starin' at the sky, no tunes on demand.
Thought I'd write a song 'bout love, a good ol' tale,
But the words just slipped away, lost their trail.
[Verse 2]
Tried to pen a line 'bout the break of dawn,
Singin' 'bout the rooster's crow and the quiet morn.
But every time I strummed, the chords went cold,
Warm coffee and strummin', but no story to be told.
[Chorus]
So here's a song 'bout nothin', 'cause nothin's what I found,
A melody of silence, lyrics dancin' round.
When you can't think of a story, just let the music play,
'Cause there's always a song to write, in a roundabout way.
[Verse 3]
Picked a theme 'bout heartache, that ol' country trope,
But my mind went blank, just like a clean white rope.
Turned to sing 'bout whiskey, bars and Friday nights,
But every chorus I tried just wouldn't bite.
[Verse 4]
Thought of all the small towns and the dusty roads,
Friends we used to have and the places we'd go.
Tried to stitch a tale of that nostalgic air,
But my verses ran empty, like they just didn’t care.
[Chorus]
So here's a song 'bout nothin', 'cause nothin's what I found,
A melody of silence, lyrics dancin' round.
When you can't think of a story, just let the music play,
'Cause there's always a song to write, in a roundabout way.
