chorus;
Where the dories fish for salmon
and Cape Kiwanda guards the shore
there's a sleepy seaside village, that the tourists once ignored
a red flashing light there marks it, folks come from near and far
'cause there's nothing quite as cozy as a drink in that little coast bar

1. The decor is not fancy, the furnishings aren't new
but the waitresses are friendly and sometimes will flirt with you
it's a place where locals gather, that welcomes strangers too
even on a rainy Friday night they'll find a place for you

repeat chorus

2. Rob surveys the clientele, the wailing jukebox cries
Norma drinks a Heidelberg on a stool she occupies
Phil and Leslie are holding court, Billy's telling lies
a young pool player doubles down on his bet to clear the side

repeat chorus

3. There are some that prefer high style, or a bland domestic brew
rather than an Oregon hopped creation that will make a man of you
so give me fishermen and loggers, in a down to earth small town
a place with just one stoplight, where a body can slow down

repeat chorus

4. So if you're ever in the Great Northwest, on the road to the three capes
when the rain begins to fall and the hour is turnin' late
find the pub they call "The Sportsman" , be prepared to stay
lucky for you, there's a cute motel just a half a block away!

repeat chorus
