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
