Zamboni Express

I'm returning to dreams for inspiration again this week. This time I had a dream that I was literally sitting down to record a song when my cat jumped up on my keyboard and while walking across it started playing an awesome melody. Somehow through dream logic I was hearing the fully finished song coming out of the speakers even though I hadn't recorded any other parts to it and I was really digging it, not even aware that I was dreaming. But then in reality my dog jumped on the bed and woke me up mid-dream. At first I was a little disappointed because it was a pretty cool dream, but then I realized I could still remember a little bit of the song, which I'm not sure I would have if I had kept on dreaming and it had morphed its way into something else. I couldn't remember the whole song, but there was enough there to work with.
I decided I wanted to add a vocal section and I remembered another different dream I'd had recently where I was driving across a giant frozen lake in a zamboni. Then somehow I thought about how zamboni express sounds a little like pony express and I knew I had the title.

Doing whatever it takes
To get across frozen lakes
Ice stretching all around me
Cruising on in my zamboni
