Now, hear her side of the story.

Step back into the golden era of country with “He Thinks I’ve Moved On,” Country Cate’s tender reply to George Jones’s “She Thinks I Still Care.” Told from her perspective, this 1960s-styled ballad keeps the shuffle groove alive while opening the door to forgiveness and homecoming.

Lyrics:

Just because I pass that old café at night
Just because I keep the porch lamp burning bright
Just because I laugh and act like I’m all right
He thinks I’ve moved on

Just because I wander Sunday streets downtown
Just because I chat and joke with folks around
Just because I skip the corners we once found
He thinks I’ve moved on

If saying I’m long gone eases his mind
I’ll let that small-town whisper buy him some time
But the door still waits, swung open wide
And his favorite chair is set inside

Just because I fill the quiet of my day
Just because I ride the evening train away
Just because I pray for strength enough to stay
He thinks I’ve moved on
He thinks I’ve moved on
