Allmusic.com says that I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE DANCING was recorded by Phil Everly, and it's on his album "Living Alone," Elektra LP #213, 1979.

It was also recorded by Hank Davis, and it's on his album "Blue Highway," Relaxed Rabbit CD #428, 1974. There is a sound sample on this page, from which I transcribed this:

The sky is blue and the sun is softly shining.
I'm smiling. I'm not laughing, but I'm trying.

I can't identify the "Rock Salt and Nails" album mentioned above. There was one by that name made by Steve Young in 1969, later reissued as a CD, but it doesn't contain I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE DANCING.

I'm not sure we've identified the right song.

I just had my heart handed to me
so I thought I'd go see some old friends
your eyes burned a hole clear through me
I could see myself slipping again

I never believed this could happen
I'm not really sure what to do
'cause I know that if we started dancing
I'd catch myself falling for you

It seems every new romance
starts with a slow dance
I know there'd be sparks if I held you tight
don't misunderstand me
'cause I think you're pretty
I just don't feel like dancing tonight

Bottom of the page. Found it thanks to stuff in Jim's post. Love it when a plan comes together. Hope this is it.

OK, I see where I went wrong. I was looking for an album called "Rock Salt and Nails" but it turns out there's a band called Rock Salt and Nails, and their album is called "Boxed." (I thought "boxed" was just a descriptive word.)

Julian Dawson and Vince Gill wrote I DON'T FEEL LIKE DANCING. (The word "just" is in the lyrics but not in the title.)

Charlie Louvin recorded it on his album "Longest Train" in 1996.

Julian Dawson recorded it on his album "Spark" in 1999.

Rock Salt and Nails recorded it on their album "Boxed" in 1999, but, just to make things difficult for searchers, they called the track "Romancing and Dancing." The track seems to be a medley of I DON'T FEEL LIKE DANCING and something called DANCING TONIGHT.
