"Linda on My Mind" is a 1975 country hit written and recorded by Conway Twitty, which topped the US Hot Country Songs and Canadian RPM Country charts.

It was his 17th number-one hit, released in Jan 1975.

The song depicts a man regretting his infidelity while lying next to his current partner, yet thinking of his new love, Linda.

The song was released by MCA on December 23, 1974, and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in March 1975, staying on the charts for eight weeks.

Controversy: In 1977, songwriter Gene Hood sued Twitty, claiming the melody was borrowed from his 1967 composition, "Too Much Of You".

Twitty won the court battle after four years of litigation.

The song was written by Conway Twitty, with some reports stating he wrote it on his tour bus while traveling to a show.

It centers on intense guilt and emotional conflict, with lyrics focusing on cheating, separation, and "lying" in both a literal and metaphorical sense.

While primarily known as a Conway Twitty hit, it was recorded by other artists, including Ronnie Milsap.

The song became a staple in Twitty's career, showcasing his reputation for delivering emotional, relatable country stories about love and regret
