| 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 | 
| Well, 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 | 
| 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 he gave me | 
| The day that he died and went home | 
| Some times I start preaching to no one | 
| But pretty soon a crowd starts gathering | 
| And 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 | 
| 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 hallelujah, I’m saying glory, glory hallelujah | 
| Hey, hey, glory, glory hallelujah, glory, glory, glory | 
| And they sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless | 
| Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows | 
| 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 |
