Lyrics for Your Tombstone

by Corny O'Connell | 10/30/2025 | 5:00am

It's that time of year when decorative tombstones appear on front yards and stoops. If you could inscribe your actual grave marker with a lyric from a song, what would you choose? We'll spin a set. To keep me from an early grave, include the artist, song title and lyric, thanks. 

Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:

  • Allen Toussaint ""Yes We Can Can" Make this land a better place than the one in which we live
  • Talking Heads "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" Home is where I want to be, but I guess I'm already there
  • Bob Dylan "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
  • The Hombres "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out" Sleep all day, drive all night, nobody knows what it's all about, it's too much man, let it all hang out

Weekdays at Noon
