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 raged old tent Looked like it was a hundred years old He started out preaching to no one 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 It was 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 he died and went home Some times I start preaching to no one Pretty soon the crowd starts gathering And I preach the gospel At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road And we sang come ye sinners, lost and hopeless Lord, I was hopeless, heaven knows It was 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 And we sing, 'Come ye sinners, lost and hopeless' Lord, I was hopeless, heaven knows It was 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
