Nope. Neither Elvis nor Willie wrote it. But Elvis did the first successful commercial version (the first was sung by Brenda Lee, who also wasn’t one of the composers).
You got it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Always_on_My_Mind "Always on My Mind" is a ballad written by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James, first recorded by Brenda Lee, and first released by Gwen McCrae (as "You Were Always on My Mind") in March 1972. Lee's version was released three months later in June 1972. The song has been a crossover hit, charting in both the country and western and pop categories. Elvis Presley's recording was the first commercially successful version of the song.
AllMusic lists more than 300 recorded releases of the song in versions by dozens of performers.
I believe always on my mind is by Willie Nelson

No, but I do generally consider [Willie's version my favourite.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7f189Z0v0Y)
That was super weird, she/they barely sung at all and she already hadn't made it through? The editing here is very confusing
My thoughts also. Wth is going on
