Her music will live on forever.
Years before Dolly Parton died on Tuesday, she recorded a secret song that won’t be released until 2045.
In the “Jolene” singer’s 2020 memoir, “Songteller: My Life in Lyrics,” she revealed that she wrote a song called “My Place In History” that is stored in a capsule at her Dollywood Theme Park.
After sharing the secret with the public, Parton joked about having regrets about deciding to keep the track locked away until her 99th birthday.
“I had to write this song that nobody was going to hear ‘til then, and I tell you you have no idea how that has bothered me,” she said on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” in 2022.
“I want to go dig that up so bad,” she shared, adding that “it’s a really good song.”
“I don’t know whose damn idea that was,” the Grammy winner quipped.
However, Parton said she was excited for the public to hear the new track.
“Hopefully it’ll be special. I have to honestly say, it was an odd feeling to be asked to write a song that was not going to be heard ‘til [2045]. But it’s a good song,” she shared.
During an appearance on “The Tonight Show” that same year, Parton told host Jimmy Fallon, “I won’t be around to hear it. I’ll be dead and gone — well, I might not be, ’cause I’ll be 99. You know me, I might still be hoppin’ around.”
As Page Six previously reported, Parton died on Tuesday at the age of 80.
The “I Will Always Love You” singer’s team revealed she secretly battled cancer before her shocking death.
