Lyrics:
John came home from war this morning he found his wife she wasn't there
And a cold cold feeling crept through his bones when he found a note at the bottom of the stairs
Said I'm in love with your brother I've found a preacher I'm in love and I'm heading to the south
Boy you were fine but I've changed my mind I'm boarding the next train out of town
John flew into a rage like thunder he brought his fist down and he cracked the floor
He thought he broke bone the way he screamed and he roared and he headed right back out
the door
Said I'm going to find my brother God damn this preacher I'm going to put him
underneath a stone
So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feels small they'll remember the wrath of my
storm
John crashed in with his pistol crying in the morning just before the dawn
He took out his knife and he carved out the light of a future in the eyes of the lord
Strung him up high silhouetted in the sky let the ravens pick him to the bone
When the law man came by he turned down his eyes not to gaze upon the brother of John
The station platform was empty and quiet as she waited for a man who'd never show
When the noon day sun was high and cracking the ground she felt a lump rise in her throat
John swept from behind put a gun on her side said baby you were why I came home
I won't take your life but I want to look into your eyes when you see I killed the man that you love

[@Vixikats]

"When the oak trees are so tall that the mountains feel small, they'll remember the wrath of my storm," has to be one of the hardest lyrics I've ever heard.

[@BigBoyBigPloy]

this song just HITS

[@BenjaminDakotaRogers]

Thanks bro

[@acanadian9776]

​@@BenjaminDakotaRogers just heard some of your music less then 5 minutes ago. Instant fan. Blown away.

[@johndrew4689]

I can never play this song just once. I must listen to it at least three times, and then it stays in my head for days. That's just how damn good it is !!

[@bigoldram1041]

You wouldn't believe how many searches I made trying to find this song again. I couldn't remember the song name or any string of lyrics or the creators name. I swear to God I was about to give up. It was almost As if I dreamt this song and it didn't exist. But thank God I could scratch that itch in my brain to hear it again.

[@czkmeister]

Glad you found your way.

[@ronheil6558]

That's a neat change from the earlier versions. More of a chilling calculated vengeance, compared to the naked rage in the other versions. Well done.

[@Wucky28]

As a famous blind radio station manager once said, “That was some mighty fine a-pickin’ and a-dingin’!”

[@tomcoliandris1823]

I have listened to this song hundreds of times now and still, every time it gives me chills. Your raw vocal talent, mixed with the pure passion that comes from you, coupled with that tasty riff, makes for one of the most beautiful and haunting folk tales I've ever heard. Keep being amazing Mr Rogers

[@dylanrompel4186]

Not a note wrong, not a word off, and missing nothing. Such a PERFECT song.

[@tobeygun]

with the oustanding quality of your songwriting and storytelling i’m just flabbergasted that you’re getting discovered now, or is it me been living under rocks again? anyways, you’re great, man!

[@BenjaminDakotaRogers]

This years been such a wild ride with people discovering my music. Thank you!

[@soccerchick1]

[@mthirion94]

This man sings a novel into every song and always winds up with an amazingly unique piece. It's honestly unbelievable. Keep up the good work, brother.

[@legenddairyfarm]

[@Wucky28]

Never get sick of hearing this song! Just keep doing you Benjamin!

[@duh-ff]

You’re the headliner. This style is what them gold miners were looking for.

[@Nerdbabble]

I take it, this was recorded at the same time as Back To You? You’re killing it brother, love this version and feel.

[@BenjaminDakotaRogers]

Yeah first video of the day

[@stevenmackenzie8492]

Im not comparing you to anyone as you are distinct and raw but there is only a few about today that can actually tell a story in their songs. Chris stapleton, colter wall and zach bryan so you are in very good company sir. Thank you for your music!

[@williamdavis3578]

[@SiTheMon777]

Absolute 🔥🔥🔥

[@forkinaround4867]

Great song

[@marksally5620]

I absolutely love this song. This version is a bit more reserved than the original which is fine. Just not quite got the same impact for me. Still one of the best in the business!

[@HeadiestOne]

So fucking good man.

[@CelestineMumay]

Well done, Ben!!!

[@countjulu]

Great recording in nice setting!

[@jeminigemi]

I hope to witness the wrath of this man's storm live one day. Mmm hm

[@isaiahmartinez531]

phenomenal, amazing work!

[@BenjaminDakotaRogers]

Thank you!

[@christopherbelanger1981]

I've listened to this song about a million times man, great stuff bro! Might sound weird but I'd love to hear a cover of Big Iron by Marty Robins, I feel like your voice would absolutely kill it same thing with Bob fudge haha. Cheers

[@andrewjordan956]

It’s an incredible time for music. #BDR

[@borrisromance]

😊

[@Chrismoughan]

Damn….this is insanely great. Please come to Philly area!

[@BenjaminDakotaRogers]

Soon soon

[@aspergersftw7927]

That guitar has so much power for such a small body and four strings

[@BenjaminDakotaRogers]

It’s a workhorse and a beauty

[@aspergersftw7927]

@@BenjaminDakotaRogers what guitar is it specifically? I'm not up to snuff on tenor guitars

[@thatonecrimsonecho]

I have a guitar We share the same name Time to learn how to play my guitar so I can play this absolute masterpiece

[@Rosicrucian69]

I really want to play this. It’s hard to figure out even slowing it down to 0.25x speed. Please make a little tutorial

[@Rosicrucian69]

Just realized it’s on a tenor guitar (4 string) tuned completely different to a 6 string normal tuning 😅 no wonder

[@lewisking]

I love this song!!!!! Where was this in red dead?!

[@BenjaminDakotaRogers]

I wish

[@user-hz6po8qd8u]

I don't want to be negative but that video of you in the recording studio with your band mates is just so awesome to watch and better then this shoot. I think that should be the video, the rawness and passion captured in that is beautiful.

[@joshuaarnett3034]

InCredible song but we'res the energy

[@lugankid]

Feel like there are two more verses missing - one for her reaction, rationalization and grief, and another for his realization he killed his brother for a woman that never loved him...

[@darkhole333]

What?? He didnt kill his brother for her, his BROTHER took his wife from him. That's such a massive betrayal, moreso than her cheating/leaving.

[@lineheart972]

The lows were better but did not have the energy on the highs not bad just different.

[@phillip_my_nuts]

This hits deep.
