There are two sides to the Cowboy Boy story. Here’s the first: Olivia Maria and Mike Nevin started writing songs together in Boston. When Olivia moved to LA, Cowboy Boy persisted over FaceTime and weekends spent recording in each other’s home bases. That part’s easy, but packing up and leaving the East Coast was hard. Enter part two of the Cowboy Boy story — the PRINCESS/GOOD GIRL double EP out soon via Get Better Records.
If PRINCESS showcases a young band on the edge of critical life changes, GOOD GIRL waves from the other side of the aftermath. PRINCESS is shot through with caffeinated anxiety that could only accompany watching a long-term relationship transition into a long- distance one, and GOOD GIRL processes the heartbreak from a California zip code. For Cowboy Boy, growing is part of the process even when miles threaten to make them seem small.
Includes unlimited streaming of GOOD GIRL
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
Somebody told me at a party
That writing a new song is the best way to complain
And it feels good cause I’ve got so much to complain about
You’re a Gemini I guess that’s why
You fall in love with every girl you see
So I can’t get mad but you go to her house and I go to therapy
Keep trying to write a chorus
But all that comes out is “fuck, I wanna die”
And I feel bad cause all my friends are sick of hearing it
Seems like everybody gets exactly what they want
Except of course for me
So you make her a mixtape and I’m finding new ways to deal with anxiety
If I wake up in your bed
My alarm clock shouldn’t be some other girl’s texts
I’m tired of giving you my best
When you give yours to someone else repeatedly
I’m tired of giving you my best
I’m gonna keep it for myself
Cause god knows you’d never do the same for me
Somebody asked me at the bar
If I was jealous of the girl you brought for drinks
And I got mad but looking back I was defensive
If we’re five years in and you’re blowing me off
For a girl you’ve known two weeks
The answer’s no I’m not jealous
It’s kind of pathetic
You can pick up my drink tab
Cause you don’t deserve me
I’m tired of giving you my best
When you give yours to someone else repeatedly
I’m tired of giving you my best
I’m gonna keep it for myself
Cause god knows you’d never do the same for me
I’m tired of giving you my best
When you give yours to someone else repeatedly
I’m tired of giving you my best
I’m gonna keep it for myself
Cause god knows you’d never do the same for me

A lovely album from start to finish. So good I bought it twice ( first digitally , then on CD ) . Immediately before writing this little blurb I also got the t-shirt. Standout song writing and a beautifully resonant voice. Poormonger

Discovered Mia a few years ago and immediately fell head over heels in love with the album, so I knew I wanted this for my growing CD collection bikinigrrl
