The award-winning singer-songwriter and roots rock veteran from Pittsburgh has released a new single and lyric video from his album, “Brick By Brick.”
PITTSBURGH, PA – June 19, 2023 – Chart-topping Roots Rocker, John Vento is happy to announce the release of his brand new single and accompanying video for “She Drove Me to the Poor House.” The single is taken from Vento’s epic, 3 years-in-the-making album, “Brick By Brick,” and brings together an impressive collaboration of producers, musicians and vocalists.
The original concept for the song was born from a poem written by Carl Clemens (Youngstown, OH), which was then presented to producer and multi-instrumentalist David Granati, who quickly added his unique twist to the song. The result is a driving rocker with a whole lot of sass from the powerful vocals of Nicole Kress.
The accompanying video by Kay Bey brings the energy of the track to life. It is an electrifying and captivating performance, featuring Vento and his band of collaborators.
So, be sure to check out John Vento’s new single and video for “She Drove Me to the Poor House” today!

“She Drove Me To The Poorhouse”
She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas
The only thing that I got left
Are the clothes on my back
She got furs and diamond rings
Fancy cars and all them things
She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas!
Boys let me tell you bout a girl I know
I’m sure you met her before
She’s the one who spends your money
And makes you so damn poor
Get a new car, buy a new house, give her money for a brand new blouse
She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas
She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas
The only thing that I got left
Are the clothes on my back
She got furs and diamond rings
Fancy cars and all them things
She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas!
Breaker, breaker 1-9
I’m headin’ south straight to the poorhouse
You drove me to the poorhouse
I give you an inch but you take a mile
Now you got me dead ass broke
All you do is smile
She got furs and diamond rings
Fancy cars and all them things
She drove me to the poor house
And I’m payin’ for the gas
She’s driving me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas
The only thing that I got left
Are the clothes on my back
She got furs and diamond rings
Fancy cars and everything
She drove me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas!
She drove me to the poor house
And I’m payin for the gas!
She drove me to the poor house
And you can kiss my big fat ass !
