"Untanglin' My Mind" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Clint Black. Black wrote the song with Merle Haggard. It was released in September 1994 as the lead single from the album One Emotion. The song peaked at number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and reached number 3 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.[2] Haggard also recorded the song on his 1996 album 1996. [3]
The song is a ballad in which the narrator states that if anyone were to ask his now ex-lover where he's gone to, that she should state he's elsewhere.
Mike Joyce of The Washington Post gave the song a positive review, saying that it was "the album's best tune" and saying that it showed the similarities in Black's and Haggard's styles.[4]
The music video was directed by Clint Black himself and premiered in October 1994.
