"Things Have Gone to Pieces" is a song written by Leon Payne and recorded by country music artist George Jones. It was Jones' first single after signing with the Musicor label and spent a total of twenty-one weeks on the Billboard survey, peaking at #9. The song lists a litany of negative events that have befallen the narrator since his lover has left him. Despite its comically melodramatic premise, Jones delivers one of his most bluesy, soulful vocals that give the words resonance. Merle Haggard would record the song for the second Jones/Haggard duet album Kickin' Out the Footlights...Again in 2006.
