| - Long Walk Home è la decima canzone dell'album Magic, quindicesimo disco in studio di Bruce Springsteen. Il testo parla di un ritorno a casa e della disillusione nel domani, di come l'America è cambiata negli ultimi anni, lontana ormai dai suoi ideali di libertà, civiltà e benessere. L'alienazione dettata dal cambiamento è l'elemento centrale del testo. È stata pubblicata come singolo promozionale. (it)

Bush. "In that particular song a guy comes back to his town and recognizes nothing and is recognized by nothing," Springsteen told The New York Times' A. O. Scott. "The singer in 'Long Walk Home,' that's his experience. His world has changed. The things that he thought he knew, the people who he thought he knew, whose ideals he had something in common with, are like strangers. The world that he knew feels totally alien. I think that's what's happened in this country in the past six years." Although only released as a promotional single, the song was highlighted when a music video was made and released on 25 September 2007, the same day as the video for Magic first single "Radio Nowhere". The video featured real-life scenes from Springsteen's Jersey Shore interspersed with shots of Springsteen at Asbury Park Convention Hall and at Tony's diner on Main Street in Freehold. (en)
