Ani Difranco

On my last visit home, my sis Jess and I went to the Ani Difranco concert. It was a good concert. Jess is a big fan and introduced me to her, and I've become a fan as well. Now being a female singer a lot of her song lyrics are filled with female angst and they're all about girl power, but below are lyrics to a new song of hers and I really liked it because they're so happy! Anyhoo, The evening was a lot of fun and it was awesome to spend time with my sister and one of my best friends! It's good to have some one on one sister time!

Smiling Underneath

i don't mind waiting in line no no
i don't mind if the bills pile up and the work is slow
i don't mind the gas or the groceries or the grind
as long as I'm with you I'm having a good time

i don't mind the stoner waiter or the poorly cooked food
i don't mind little miss kitty or her knuckle-head dude
i don't mind if every last person here is ugly and rude
as long as I'm with you i have good attitude
as long as I'm with you

we could be stuck in traffic for over a week
with a car full of quintuplets who are all cutting teeth
around my neck could be a flaming Christmas wreath
and I'd be smiling under smiling underneath

i don't mind waking up early for a flight that's delayed
i don't mind a week's vacation was chilly and grey
i don't mind the traffic cops or the TSA
as long as I'm with you I'm having a good day
as long as I'm with you

i don't mind spilling my hot sauce onto my white shirt
i don't mind the twinge when i walk in that knee that i hurt
i don't mind if my gums are peeling back or my hair getting thin
as long as I'm with you i win
as long as I'm with you

we could be stuck in traffic for over a week
with a car full of quintuplets who are all cutting teeth
around my neck could be a flaming Christmas wreath
and I'd be smiling under smiling under smiling underneath
