Verse 1

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
