The story behind the song

"Always On My Mind" captures the bittersweet apology of someone who knows they've been absent, yet wants to assure their loved one that they were never forgotten. The song was born from songwriter Wayne Carson's own experience, when he called his angry wife to explain a delay, and the phrase "I've been thinking about you all the time" sparked the idea. It's a tender admission of shortcomings paired with a heartfelt declaration of enduring affection. Playing this song channels a deep sense of regret mixed with unwavering devotion.
