Heartbreak Ridge & 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 a 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 Well, I stumbled into that meeting I was looking like death warmed over But then I heard the gospel At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope road When they sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless Lord I was hopeless heaven knows Something got a hold 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 he gave me The day that he died and went home Some times I start preaching to no one But pretty soon a crowd starts gathering And I now 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 Something got a hold 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'm saying glory, glory hallelujah Hey, hey, glory, glory hallelujah, glory, glory, glory And they sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows Something got a hold of me, something got a hold hallelujah When I heard the gospel At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road When I heard the gospel At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road Glory, glory hallelujah, glory, glory hallelujah
