One/two lines from a well-known(?) song. What's the song? (And, for a bonus, what's the next line?)

So, the last "toughies" weren't. I'll try again...

-1. And now we are old, with debts and regrets
-2. Working on a T-bone steak à la carte
-3. But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear
-4. Who walks in the classroom cool and slow?
-5. Every whisper, of every waking hour
-6. Mama turned on the front porch light sayin'
-7. So I give her the car keys
-8. And the halls of his memory, still echo her lies
-9. We got all the friends that money can buy
-10. In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
11. Ashes from the wood stove filling up the bucket, Spilling out the top, so where am I gonna chuck it?
-12. Stand toe to toe, trade blow for blow,

2. Song: Promised land.

Working on a T-bone steak à la carte
And flying over to the Golden State

Nice puzzle. Rog.

Thanks, Remi - nice call!

9. Cover of the Rolling Stone - Dr. Hook

So we never have to be alone
And we keep getting richer but we can't get out picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Love that song!

10. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

...and the hits they keep a-coming!

3. Peaceful Easy Feeling - The Eagles

But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again

6. Sweet Nothin's ... Brenda Lee

Mama turned on the front porch light sayin'
Sayin' come here darlin' that's enough for tonight

4. Charlie Brown

Love those lyrics, michele!

soot, oldbroad, you're both far too young to remember thaose

Ah, but I was blessed with four older brothers and one older sister .

I, too, love the Peaceful Easy Feeling song and it is more from my time.

5 - Losing my religion

I'm choosing my confessions

Good call, OB!

8. another from Willie

"Time of the preacher"

And he cried like a baby
And he screamed like a panther in the middle of the night

7. Wonderful Tonight/Eric Clapton

and she helps me to bed.

From the much underrated "Red Headed Stranger" iirc manxman

One of my favourite Clapton tracks, Marian!

11. Take it out back

Take it out the back door to where I never mow

12 - Stand Up and Fight

Stand toe to toe, trade blow for blow,

And keep punching till you make your punches tell
And show that crowd what you know

1. Rog, this is the closest I could find.

Song: It was so easy. Carly Simon.

And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
And broken hearts and sentimental schemes

Great family effort!

You were right, Remi - I copied it wrongly

Thought #11 might cause grief. It's "Take it out Back" by Chuck Brodsky - a song about fly-tipping!

Chuck is a singer-songwriter whose songs have a political / environtmental edge, but humorous.

"Take it out Back" can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlF34iU57BU, or an excellent live version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mryL5VUIzk - highly recommended!
