The 3rd Time Around is the third studio album by American country music singer Roger Miller.

[6] Miller wrote all twelve of the songs on the album, with assistance from Buddy Killen on "I'll Pick Up My Heart (And Go Home)."

Upon its release, Billboard designated The 3rd Time Around a "Spotlight Pick" and identified it as "another hot contender full of clever original compositions.

"[7] Allmusic gave the album five stars, lauding it for the "extra effort" put in "to make it sound fresh and different."

The tracks "Swiss Maid," "Big Harlan Taylor", and "The Last Word in Lonesome Is Me" were cited as presenting a "range of themes and characters" consistent with Miller's "individualistic style."
