There are a million inspirations to start writing a song and a song only needs two things - Someone doing something and why they're doing it. For instance, a WALK in the Park and WHY (what/ who) reason they are there. Are you say hello to someone new? Saying goodbye to your love? Reminiscing about someone you lost? and on and on.

Are you TRAVELING down a LONELY road? WHY (what)?

example:
Traveling down a lonely road thinking way back when
Wondering how you and I got to be more than friends.
Thumbing my way back home
Never more to be alone
You can make all my dreams come true.

Our brains think in images. Three words can create an image of someone doing something and you can write nearly a page describing that image your brain creates from those three random words as to why or what they're doing.

River Lady Book

You should instantly see an image in your head just like a picture of a scene with a lady by a river doing something with a book. Turn that story into your song. Think "Ode to Billy Joe"

or listen to "Melissa" by Guthrie Thomas on YouTube.
