"On the Other Hand" is a country music song written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz. First recorded by Keith Whitley on his 1985 album L.A. to Miami, it was later released as a single by Randy Travis. It was the lead-off single to his 1986 album Storms of Life, and it peaked at #67 in the United States. However, it was re-released in 1986 after the song "1982" peaked, and the re-release became his first number-one hit in both the United States and Canada.[1]
