Heartbreak Ridge And New Hope Road

It was a wide spot out in the country

Away from the lights of the city

Where an old time preacher pitched a ragged old tent

Looked like it was a hundred years old

He started out preaching to no one

But pretty soon the crowd started gathering

And he preached the gospel at the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

I turned into a wild man

Some people said I'd gone crazy

But all too soon came the harvest

Of the wild seeds that I had sown

I stumbled into the meeting

I was looking like death warmed over

Then I heard the gospel at the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

When they sang come ye sinners, lost and hopeless

Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows

Then something got ahold of me

Something got a hold, hallelujah

When I heard the gospel at the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

It's still a wide spot out in the country

Away from the lights of the city

I pitched that old tent that he gave me

The day he died and went home

Some times I start preaching to no one

But pretty soon the crowd starts gathering

And I preach the gospel at the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

And we sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless

Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows

Then something got ahold of me

Something got a hold, hallelujah

When I heard the gospel at the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

Glory hallelujah

I said glory, glory hallelujah

Glory, glory hallelujah

Glory, glory, glory

And we sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless

Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows

Then something got ahold of me

Something got a hold, hallelujah

When I heard the gospel at the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

Glory, glory hallelujah

Glory, glory hallelujah
