I changed the lyric of Aerosmith's classic "Janie's Got A Gun" from serious to tongue in cheek.

Songwriter
I'm nothing more than a songwriter trying to present my creations as best I can. I realized I was a composer when I noticed tunes in my head that I'd never heard elsewhere. Lyrics come almost that easy now but my performance skills are lacking. Arranging my own music is time consuming so I often write lyrics to available arrangements when commercial value is not an issue. Although I could benefit from the performing talents of others, I'm a one man band.

Story behind the song
A used to work in a grocery store with an overhead model train. Two of my co-workers were named "Jamie" and used scanning guns on occasion. I doubt that they hated that train passing over them but that thought inspired the song.
Lyrics
Jamie's got a gun. Jamie's got a gun. The whole store's come undone from flowers to hamburg buns. What did Food City do? What did they put her through? They say what Jamie most detested was workin' underneath a train. It's clicking and it's clackin' on the rails was so distractin'. She ain't never gonna be the same. Jamie's got a gun. Jamie's got a gun. Her breakdown's just begun. Everybody is on the run. Tell me now it's untrue. What did Food City do? They hung a railroad from the ceiling to try and drive the girl insane! They say the train that she works under is scarier than thunder, but no one tried to stop her pain! Bridge: Run away, run away from the train! Run away, run away from the train! Run away, run away, run, run away! Jamie's got a gun. Jamie's got a gun. Her breakdown's just begun. Everybody is on the run. What did poor Jamie do when her frustration grew? She tried to stop the endless torture by putting bullets in the train! But the gun that she was shootin' was only for computin'. She ain't never gonna be the same! (repeat bridge) Jamie's got a gun. Her breakdown's just begun. Everybody is on the run, (No one wants to cross her cross-hairs.) 'cause Jamie's got a gun. (Poor, poor Jamie. What's her problem?) Jamie's got a gun. (Model trains can't be that scary.) Her breakdown's just begun. (Don't she know the gun ain't loaded?) Everybody's on the run. Jamie's got a gun.
