Your Cheatin’ Heart One of the first posthumous releases for Williams, the inspiration for this song was reportedly his first wife – and subject for so much of his material – Audrey. He actually wrote the song while traveling from Music City to Shreveport, as he described his first wife to his then-fiancee, Billie Jean. The song served as the title of the 1964 film version of Williams’ life, which starred George Hamilton.
