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
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
Then 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 that he gave me
The day that he died and went home
Sometimes I start preaching to no one
But pretty soon crowd starts gathering
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
Well, 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)
Glory, Hallelujah (I say glory)
Glory, Hallelujah (hey, hey, glory)
Glory, Hallelujah, glory, glory, glory
They sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless
Lord, I was hopeless, heaven knows
Oh, 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!
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

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!
