Cover art for Long Walk Home lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

As Bruce told the New York Times:

“The singer in ‘Long Walk Home,’ 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.”
