It was a wide spot out in the country
Away from the lights of the city
Where an old time preacher pitched a raged old tent

Looked like it was a hundred years old
He started out preaching to noone
Pretty soon the crowd started gathering

And he preached the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and newhope 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 newhope road


((Chorus))
When they sang come ye sinners, lost and hopeless
Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows

It was something got ahold of me
Something got ahold halelluiah
When I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and newhope road


Verse 2
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 noone
Pretty soon the crowd starts gathering
And I preach the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and newhope road


((Chorus #2))
And we sang come ye sinners, lost and hopeless

Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows
It was something got ahold of me
Something got ahold halelluiah

When I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and newhope road

((Chorus #3))

And we singcome ye sinners, lost and hopeless
Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows
It was something got ahold of me

Something got ahold halelluiah
When I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and newhope road
When I heard the gospel at the corner of heartbreak ridge and newhope road
