[Verse 1]
Baby don't fall in love with me
I'll only bring you grief
Baby, don't set your heart on me
I'll only have to leave

[Chorus]
Because the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning I'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind

[Verse 2]
Daddy, he was a traveling man
I hardly knew his face
Momma, she cried for him at night
He never stayed in one place

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Oh I can't give you the love you need
I just won't be here that long
But if you still want me here tonight
I'll love you till the break of dawn
[Chorus]
Because the north wind flows through my veins
Like my dad there's a dream in my brain
In the morning I'll have to leave again
That's how it is when you inherit the wind
Inherit the wind
Inherit the wind, inherit the wind
