Evil on Your Mind

About Evil on Your Mind

"Evil on Your Mind" is the name of a popular Country music song, originally made famous by Grand Ole Opry star Jan Howard in 1966. The song was written by her husband at the time, songwriter Harlan Howard. In the mid-'60s, Jan Howard was not acquiring any significant hits. Only one of her songs hit the Top 20: in 1960, "The One You Slip Around With" hit No. 13. In 1966, Howard wrote and released her first single of the year, "Evil on Your Mind". The song hit the Top 5 on the Billboard Country music charts, peaking at No. 5 there. An album of the same name was released that year, featuring Howard's big hit. A successful follow-up single entitled "Bad Seed" hit the Top 10 that year. The song set the stage for a number of Top 20 and Top 10 hits that Howard would have as a solo and duet artist between 1966 and 1971. more »

You say I need a rest
Why don't I go and see my sister way out west
That's very thoughtful of you dear
And I'm really touched with all this tenderness

But us women are suspicious things
We know that men aren't born with wings
What's making you so kind? Now, I'm not smart
But I'm not blind and I think that you've got evil on your mind

You think that you've been good about as long
As most red blooded human could
We've been together for so long
I know another pasture's looking good

But don't think that other men don't look at me
That certain way from time to time
Don't think that you're the only one
That must contend with evil on your mind

Your mind is in a harem
And surrounded by exotic dancing girls
You're hearing pretty music
As they run their slender fingers through your curls

Ah, dream on baby

I thank you for the flowers and the candy
Honey, that was very kind
For that's your way of telling me
You're sorry for the evil on your mind
