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
