[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
