"I Won't Be Home No More" is a song written by Hank Williams on July 11, 1952. It was released posthumously on MGM Records a year later in July 1953. It was recorded at the same session that produced the classic "You Win Again" and has a similar theme, albeit in a more blithesome tone, that probably reflects Hank's bitterness towards his ex-wife Audrey Williams (Hank and Audrey were legally divorced the day before the session). As Colin Escott notes, "Even though it's suppose to be a lighthearted song, Hank seems vindictive, even spiteful."[1] It was recorded at Castle Studio in Nashville with Jerry Rivers (fiddle), Don Helms (steel guitar), and Harold Bradley (rhythm guitar), while it is speculated that Chet Atkins played lead guitar and Ernie Newton played bass.[2] The song climbed to #4 on the country singles chart.
