(Words & music by Eddie Rabbitt)
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
