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

`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

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

`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

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

`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
