[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]
'Cause 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 wandering man
I hardly knew his face
Mama, she cried for him at night
He never stayed in one place

[Chorus]
'Cause 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 3]
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]
'Cause 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
