  • Don't talk about him, Tina
    Best thing he ever did was leave ya
    You better pull yourself together
    Tina, I swear you're better
    Than just waiting around
    On some rodeo man

    You gotta get yourself up and dust them boots off
    Ain't no use in staying sad or pissed off
    You know how them cowboys are
    They stay a while then they break your heart
    So put your lipstick on
    And let's go paint up this town
    And when the boys come around

    Don't talk about him, Tina
    Best thing he ever did was leave ya
    You better pull yourself together
    Tina, I swear you're better
    Than just waiting around
    On some rodeo man

    Hey bartender, my friend needs a double
    Something strong to get her through her trouble
    The boy down the bar just gave you a wink
    I bet he'll buy you another drink
    Before you know it, you'll be dancing his memory away
    Just watch what you say

    Don't talk about him, Tina
    Best thing he ever did was leave ya
    You better pull yourself together
    Tina, I swear you're better
    Than just waiting around
    On some rodeo man
    Alright!

    There's no easy way to mend a heart
    This oughta be a real good start
    So smile real pretty cause here he comes
    And don't you dare do anything dumb

    Like talk about him, Tina
    Best thing he ever did was leave ya
    You better pull yourself together
    Tina, I swear you're better
    Than just waiting around
    On some rodeo man

    Don't just wait around
    On some rodeo man Writer/s: ANGALEENA PRESLEY

  • Ryan from Tishomingo, Ok I can confirm the song was about Miranda's best friend here in Tishomingo (OK), Tina. I leave her last name out but she's a good friend of mine... who is in Blakes latest video. Tina and her husband are closer to Blake than they are Miranda, who sorta left her out in the cold once the marriage fell apart. Sorta crappy way to leave a friend but yes, the song is about a wonderful person who lives in our small town.
