Jimmy on My Mind

Loretta Lynn · Back to the Country [1975]

(Conway Twitty)



Now I'm lying here with Jimmy on my mind

And next to me my soon to be the one I left behind

And Lord it's killin' me to see him cryin'

You know I'm lying here beside him with Jimmy on my mind.



Yes, I know that I once loved him

And I place no one up above him

And I never thought I'd ever set him free

But it just wasn't in my plans

The way Jimmy squeezed my hand

The first time that he held me close as he danced with me.



He said I've loved you for a long time

But you're married to a friend of mine

And I try hard to never let it show

But my love for you is stronger

I can't hide it any longer

And so I thought I'd better let you know.



Now, I'm lying here with Jimmy on my mind

And next to me my soon to be the one I left behind

And Lord it's killin' me to see him cryin'

You know I'm lying here beside him with Jimmy on my mind...
