Don't Put Dirt On My Grave Just Yet is a song written by Trent Dabbs and Caitlyn Smith and performed by Hayden Panettiere as Juliette Barnes in the Season Two episode It's All Wrong, But It's All Right.

In the episode, Avery Barkley co-wrote this song with her for her induction into the Grand Ole Opry. Juliette was supposed to issue an apology for the video that had her supposedly saying there was no God. Jeff Fordham even had her apology written out on the teleprompter. However Juliette ignored the teleprompter and performed the song. This led to Jeff firing her from Edgehill Republic.

She ends up recording it with a live orchestra under producer Howie V in the episode They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy Anymore as well as performing it in the Season Three episode How Far Down Can I Go.

She performs part of it as she rehearses for a comeback concert in the Season Five episode 'Til I Can Make It On My Own before she falls over.

It is included on The Music of Nashville (Season 2, Volume 2).

Lyrics[]

I thought things couldn't get much worse
But guess what they did
You hit my heart upside with a wrecking ball
Oh but that's what I get
But I'm not going nowhere
I can live on my prayers
'Cause I'm done playin' nice
I'm done running for life
'Cause you think that you got me scared

This time it's goodbye trouble
I feel the light at the end of this tunnel
I get stronger with every step

Come Hell, come high water
You push on me I'm going to push back harder
I got a whole lot more than a little bit left
Hey, so don't put dirt on my grave just yet
Oh, don't put dirt on my grave just yet

Everyone can save their breath
They can spare me the change
You can point your finger somewhere else
If you're looking to blame

I'll give you something to believe
Nothing on me says defeat
No I'll never look back
So you better think fast
If you think you can cut me deep

This time it's goodbye trouble
I feel the light at the end of this tunnel
I get stronger with every step

Come Hell, come high water
You push on me I'm going to push back harder
I got a whole lot more than a little bit left
Hey, so don't put dirt on my grave just yet
Oh, don't put dirt on my grave just yet

Hey!
Well it's going to take more, going to take more,
going to take more, to pull me under
Going to take more, going to take more,
going to take more than that to pull me under!

This time it's goodbye trouble
I feel the light at the end of this tunnel
I get stronger with every step

Come Hell, come high water
You push on me I'm going to push back harder
I got a whole lot more than a little bit left
Oh, so don't put dirt on my grave just yet
Oh, don't put dirt on my grave just yet
Don't put dirt on my grave just yet.
