Here's a harder one unless you really know the artist...

In the shadows of the smokestacks
Through the black snow that lay on the land
Walked home one winter morning
With my life's savings in my hand
Maryanne, she's fixin' up some breakfast
Got the lights on, on the Christmas tree
Sittin' there lookin' up at an angel
With something dyin' inside of me

As a clue, lyrics from a more popular song off the CD...

A million young poets screaming out their words
To a world full of people just living to be heard
Future generations, riding on the highways that we built
I hope they have a better understanding
 
Most do. John Mellancamp is a household favorite, but very regional in my opinion.

Sorry for the late reply, internet problems all day, at least perceived ones.
 
Since no one is adding things to guess at, I'll add one that I know someone on here will get in about 1 second:

Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild

Artist and title...
 
I had to google it but that's Seven Bridges Road by the Eagles. I have one.

There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em a buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today

Hint. I've been listening to a lot by this song writer but this one was made famous by another artist.
 
I find it really hard to determine the song just by a short passage of lyrics, I guess the lyrics just don't register in my head, I think my mind is the type that focuses more on sound.

How about this one, the song is going through my head like it's on an endless loop.

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home.
 
Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road. And you feel the eyes upon you, as your shaking off the cold, you pretend it doesn't bother you, but just want to explode...

Craig, I don't know. Why don't you just Turn the Page?
 
I agree with stickman about how difficult this can be. Went to a trivia night gathering with some younger co-workers back when that was a thing. One of the categories was name the song and artist. They even gave us the clue that the word trouble was in the answer. This was the passage: "Sail on Silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine" The reason I was asked to be on the team was to answer these questions and I could not come up with it.
 
I have not googled, so I am probably wrong: Isn't that "Bridge over Troubled Waters"?

Okay, now I looked, and I got it correct! Somehow a few remaining neurons got jangled correctly.

Soo, if I understand correctly, now it is my turn to post some lyrics to guess?

"Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground"
