She penned this hopeful ballad \u201cWhen Life Is Good Again\u201d while she was staying at home to help flatten the curve.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the rest of us, it\u2019s obvious that Parton is looking forward to the kind of future when we can be together, hug one another, raise a glass, and revel in the life we may have been taking for granted before the coronavirus quarantine forced us all into some kind of isolating new normal.<\/p>\n<p>So with \u201cWhen Life Is Good Again,\u201d we can finally start to see a glimpse of what the world will look like on the other side of this: when we will each be a better friend, be a good person, be more thoughtful, be more in the moment, open up our hearts and let the whole world in, try to make amends, open our doors again, be a helping hand, see the world with eyes wide open, hold loved ones extra tight, eat and drink with old friends, and sing and play the mandolin.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s quite a to-do list she\u2019s written out for all of us to share.<\/p>\n<p>Parton even offers a fresh perspective on what we can get out of this time at home. We can use it to prepare to do better, she says, when she sings, \u201cWe need to change our ways and right our wrongs.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">Life WILL be good again Sneak peek of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WhenLifeIsGoodAgain?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WhenLifeIsGoodAgain<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/people?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@people<\/a>! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/36IrJgLT1Y\">https:\/\/t.co\/36IrJgLT1Y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dolly Parton (@DollyParton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DollyParton\/status\/1265765638296961024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 27, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
