Oslin was born in Crossett, Arkansas, but soon after her birth her family moved to Memphis, Tennessee and then to Houston, Texas. Oslin considers Houston her hometown.
Oslin initially performed as a folk singer with Guy Clark and then moved to New York where she performed as a chorine on and off-Broadway. She soon began doing advertising jingles which led to appearances in a number of television commercials.
Her songwriting talent was recognized and she began writing songs performed by Dottie West, Gail Davies, Sissy Spacek, and The Judds.
In 1987, after a brief run with Elektra Records, she broke through with RCA Records and became the first female songwriter to win the Country Music Association Song of the Year award for 80s Ladies and earned the Female Vocalist of the Year honors and a Grammy Award for the song. (Ironically, Oslin, who was in her mid 40s when she finally rose to fame, did so at a time when mainstream country radio first began its now commonplace practice of excluding older artists from their playlists.)
Oslin had several more well-received songs before branching out into acting.
She took roles on Paradise, and Evening Shade with Burt Reynolds. On the big screen she co-starred in The Thing Called Love with Sandra Bullock and River Phoenix.
Oslin's other hits included "Come Next Monday", "Hey Bobby", "Hold Me", "Didn't Expect it to Go Down This Way", "Do Ya", "This Woman", and "I'll Always Come Back".
In 1995 Oslin had coronary artery bypass surgery.
In 1996, she returned to singing. She signed with BNA Records and recorded My Roots Are Showing..., which included the single "Silver Tongue and Goldplated Lies". Five years later, she released a second and final album for BNA titled Live Close By, Visit Often, which she co-produced with The Mavericks' lead singer, Raul Malo.
Oslin returned to the stage in November 2013 for a concert at Franklin Theater in Franklin, Tennessee, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her debut album, 80's Ladies.
On November 30, 2014, she performed live at the Grand Ole Opry (and on 650am WSM simulcast). Though she had been on the Opry previously, it was her first time on stage at the Ryman Auditorium.
On June 2, 2015, 15 years since the release of her last studio album, Live Close By, Visit Often in 2001, Oslin released her sixth studio album. The album was titled Simply. The album failed to chart.

Darling, I have been living a rough and tough lifestyle recently
I said ion really give a fuck
I want to emphasize that I genuinely do not care
Gave my heart to you
I wholeheartedly gave my love and affection to you
You put in the Ice
Yet, you disregarded and froze my emotions
Fuck it

Bitch im flooding down my wrist While we all in this ice
I am adorning my wrist with extravagant jewelry as we revel in our luxurious lifestyle
Thinking bout my granny
I reflect on the memories of my grandmother
I stay lookin at da sky
I frequently gaze up at the sky
I know one day we gon get it
I believe that one day we will achieve success
I know we gon shine
I have confidence that we will radiate and succeed
Everything Up in the world
All the things present in the world
Its just you n I
It is only you and me
See me in a island w my diamonds
Imagine me on an exotic island with my dazzling diamonds
Spinning in this coupe
Driving around in this luxurious two-door car
We goin places
We are destined for success and progress
I aint tryna hide
I have no intention of concealing myself
Heard da feds be watching
I heard that law enforcement is monitoring me
I said fuck you
I expressed my disdain towards them
Ion gonna hide
I will not attempt to disappear or evade
Sliding in Rotation
Covertly moving and maneuvering
Fucking with my patience
Testing my patience and causing frustration
Demons All up with me
I am haunted by my inner demons
Nigga you cant see me
You are unable to comprehend or perceive me
If you come and see me
If you visit me
Fifty in this K
I possess fifty rounds in this firearm
Get to Dumping out
I will fire and release them without hesitation
If these niggas play
If these individuals act disrespectfully
Vamonos
Let's go
I been on a role
I have been consistently successful
Tryna make a play
Attempting to make a strategic move
Heard these niggas bitches changing
I heard that these individuals are betraying and becoming disloyal
You know we gon stay 1k
You know that we will always remain loyal and true
Heard these niggas really faking
I heard that these individuals are truly deceiving and pretending
I cant even go and play
I cannot engage in leisurely activities
Momma im on a Road to Riches
Mom, I am on the path to great wealth and success
I know you cant even relate
I understand that you cannot fully understand or comprehend
Nigga finna feel my pain
Individuals are about to experience and understand my suffering
When im walking through the rain
As I endure hardships and challenges
You gon stay up on my mind
You will constantly occupy my thoughts
I been fighting all these demons
I have been battling with my inner struggles
Tryna make it out alive
Attempting to survive and overcome
