Technically copyright exists the moment you have created the song. But the laws will vary from country to country.
I'm sure that in America you have to register for copyright? I know you do for photography etc...
In the mean time you could record the song and write down the lyrics etc.... and put them in registered post to yourself. When you get them in the post do not open them. Then on the off chance, you do have a recorded package that is dated to prove the song existed on a particular date etc.. but you need to look at your local copyright laws, do a search on the net for copyright registration.
