Today it is on his headstone in this form: "I have climbed my broken ladders to glory." This would include his broken body, broken relationships around him, and more. It's still one of my faves in a very personal way. I was thrilled to sing it as a duet with Terry at C-Stone this last year. When Terry left his handwritten cheat sheet on the music stand you better believe I grabbed it for my scrap book!
Wrinkled and pasted in the book. Another broken ladder? Probably.

I love that bit about the headstone.
Just to get morbid here - what TST lyrics would you want on your headstone.
For me...
"Awake this dreamer in the arms of The Beautiful One."

we've explored the patchwork of Americana
the curios and the burger plates
we got a blessing from the Queen of the Highway,
paid attention to a sign that said "Jesus Saves"

assuming i had a headstone it would be either this:
When you say your prayers
please include my name
if my humanity causes you some pain
Hoping for the best
and I will do the same
So hold up my heart
if I twist your brain
or this:
hey fellas, let's have a burger bash!

I think I'd like this on my headstone, a slightly modified lyric:
"he's at the dance in his underpants"

Location: "You're not from around here are you?" said the stranger to the little man in the wool sweater who looked vaguely like a sheep. Maybe it was the long boots but he was kind of cute. "What's your name?" he asked "My friends call me Theo." he replied

Here lies Jevon the Tall and that's the truth

it would be a cruel thing to put on your tombstone!
right up there with "I can see up your dress!"
I am sorry... forget I said that!
