Not One More Inch

[Intro] [Verse 1] Harbor clock says quarter past two Rain needles the glass in the cab I take the slack, the steel wakes up A black beam swinging off the mast [Chorus] Hold it steady over the water Keep that load from taking the tide Wind, you can shove at the whole damn harbor You won't pull this beam from my line [Verse 2] The crane arm groans against the gale The load drifts out beyond the lamps I feather the brake, count each sway The radio spits, then goes dead [Chorus] Hold it steady over the water Keep that load from taking the tide Wind, you can shove at the whole damn harbor You won't pull this beam from my line [Guitar solo] [Breakdown] No voice in the handset No answer below One hand on the lever One eye on the load Not one more inch Not one more inch [Chorus] Hold it steady over the water Keep that load from taking the tide Wind, you can shove at the whole damn harbor You won't pull this beam from my line [Outro]
