They consisted of sisters Janis Oliver and Kristine Oliver, who grew up in suburban Los Angeles. While still in their teenage years they performed as the Oliver Sisters. Janis eventually married singer Vince Gill, who at the time was a member of Pure Prairie League. The sisters named themselves after a landmark album by The Byrds which fused elements of rock with country. A typical Sweethearts tune is an upbeat two-stepper mixing country instrumentation with a rock beat. Their harmonies were so close that some have referred to them as "The Everly Sisters." Along with The Judds and the Forester Sisters, they were at the time among country music's only all-female groups.

Their hits included "Satisfy You", "Chains of Gold", "Midnight Girl/Sunset Town", and a remake of the Beatles' "I Feel Fine".

So Sad
Sweethearts Of The Rodeo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We used to have good times together but now I feel them slip away
It makes me cry to see love die so sad to watch good love go bad
Remember how we used to feel dear you said nothing could change your mind

It breaks my heart to see us part so sad to watch good love go bad
Is it any wonder that I feel so blue when I know for certain that I'm losing you
Remember how we used to feel dear...
So sad to watch good love go bad
