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
I wanna be pretty for you
Just give me a chance
I’ll shrink down to fit beside you
I’ll sit in your hands
Use me for what you want to
As long as you come and stay
Cause what good is looking pretty
If you’re not looking anyway
I’ll shrink, I’ll shrink, I’ll shrink to fit
Take up less space so you can fill it
I’ll disappear like all the girls you’ve got yourself inside
Waiting for my turn to ride
I just want you to love me a little more than you do now
Tell me how, tell me what to do
Cause I don’t want to but I know that I’d drop everything
The day you’re seeing me the way that I’ve been seeing you
I hate that I wish this on me
I’m tired of feeling dumb
I’m ready to be a baby
I don’t wanna be your mom
I’ll shrink, I’ll shrink, I’ll shrink to fit
The same way all those others did
I’ll disappear like all the girls you got yourself inside
You sure know how to pick your type
And I just wanna be it
I just want you to love me a little more than you do now
Tell me how, tell me what to do
Cause I don’t want to but I know that I’d drop everything
The day you’re seeing me the way that I’ve been seeing you
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
