Merle Haggard Things Have Gone To Pieces Lyrics

Oh, the faucet started drippin' in the kitchen
And last night your picture fell down from the wall
And today the boss said, "Sorry, I can't use you anymore
And tonight the light bulb went out in the hall

Things have gone to pieces since you left me
And nothing turns out half-right now it seems
There ain't nothing in my pocket but three nickels and a
dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dreams Somebody threw a baseball through my window
And the arm fell off my favorite chair again
The man called me today and said, "He'd haul my things
away
If I didn't get my payments made by ten"

Things have gone to pieces since you left me
Nothing turns out half-right now it seems
There ain't nothing in my pocket but three nickels and a
dime
But I'm holding to the pieces of my dreams
