does anyone out there know the lyrics to the John Prine song "I just want to dance with you". I would also like to have a midi file for the song "Unwed Fathers" also John Prine.

I JUST WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU
Written by John Prine & Roger Cook
As recorded on John Prine's album “German Afternoons” (1986)

1. I don't want to be the kind to hesitate,
Be too shy, wait too late.
I don't care what they say other lovers do.
I just want to dance with you.
I got a feeling that you have a heart like mine,
So let it show; let it shine.
Oh, if we have a chance to make one heart of two,
Then I just want to dance with you.

CHORUS: I want to dance with you,
Twirl you all around the floor.
That's what they invented dancing for.
I just want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you,
Hold you in my arms once more.
That's what they invented dancing for.
I just want to dance with you.

2. I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you.
Yes, I did; ain't that true?
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do.
I just want to dance with you.
Oh, the boys are playing softly and the girls are too.
So am I, and so are you.
If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue.
I just want to dance with you. CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK; CHORUS
I just want to dance with you.
I just want to dance with you.
I just want to dance with you.

All I could find for now.
                                 Unwed Fathers
                                 by John Prine

          G                  C         G       C
          In an Appalachian, Greyhound station
                         G       D          G
          She sits there waiting, in a family way
                            C          G         C
          'Goodbye brother, Tell Mom I love her'
                        G       D             G
          'Tell all the others, I'll write someday'

          Chorus:
          G               C                  G
          From an teenage lover, to an unwed mother
                                          D
          kept undercovers, like some bad dream
                      G       C             G       C
          While unwed fathers, they can't be bothered
                        G      D                  G
          They run like water, through a mountain stream

          G                        C             G          C
          In a cold and grey town, a nurse say's 'Lay down'
                         G            D             G
          'This ain't no playground, and this ain't home'
                            C          G       C
          Someones children, out having children
                         G          D    G
          in a grey stone building, all al-one
          (Chorus)

          G                      C               G         C
          Some where else bound, Smokey Mountain Greyhound
                      G          D            G
          She bows her head down, humming lullabys
                            C                G    C
          'Your daddy never, meant to hurt you ever'
                         G          D                G
          'he just don't live here, but you've got his eyes'
          (Chorus)
