"Pick Up the Pieces" is a song by the Average White Band from their second album, AWB.

On the single, songwriting credit was given to founding member and saxophonist Roger Ball and guitarist Hamish Stuart individually and the entire band collectively.

The guitar line of the song came from Hamish Stuart, while Roger Ball wrote the first part of the horn melody.

We'd spent a lot of time making no money whatsoever, so it felt very relevant.

"[4] The song was included as an extended long version on the live Person to Person album (1976) (18:06) and on the various artists albums The Atlantic Family Live at Montreux (1977) (21:40) and Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich (1994) (70:10).
