"Well, I know I’ve been gone a lot, but I’ve been thinking about you all the time."
The line struck Carson and he quickly wrapped up the phone call, eager to turn it into a song. With assistance from fellow songwriter Mark James, Carson and his writing parter, Johnny Christopher, finalized the track that would become the song, "Always on My Mind."

A common misconception about "Always on My Mind" (partially due to the coincidence of when the cover was recorded) is that it was written specifically about Presley's martial troubles. Carson corrected this and clarified the song was really written for "the everyman":
"Always on My Mind" is a massively popular song to cover, with AllMusic listing over 300 different recorded releases of the track to date. Other popular versions include versions by Willie Nelson, John Wesley Ryles, and the Pet Shop Boys. A 2017 holiday campaign by the fashion brand Burberry even included model Cara Delevingne covering the tune.
