Cornhole Song
Rhett And Link Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody used to call me unathletic
And granted, my vertical leap is still pretty pathetic
But now I'm the champion on the tailgate scene
8 bags, 2 boards, 2 holes, that's all I need.
Most sports require all sorts of skills
But I prefer the ones I can do while consuming meals
You gotta try it before you knock it
Try to name another sport to top it
When you can win with an open cold one in your back pocket
Cornhole (Cornhole!)
Good for your soul
Cornhole (Cornhole!)
An Olympic sport by 2024
Halfway through the game we don't remember the score
But we're happy to start all over because it means we get to cornhole more (Cornhole!)
Who wouldv'e thought that a couple of guys could
Contribute so much to the greater good
Just by cuttin' a little ol' hole in a peice of plywood
There's a void in my soul
Shaped like a cornhole (Cornhole!)
I love it so much, from this moment on
I'm changing my name to Don Cornholio
Everybody was cornholin', back throwin'
It's good for your, good for your soul
and the man with the boards is the man never bored
I say, Hey
Everybody was cornholin', back throwin'
It's good for your, good for your soul
And good for your back and better for your image
No pressure, my brother, 'cause it's always a scrimmage
I'm tailgatin', party makin'
I'm throwin' my sacks and there's no debatin'
This has got to be the greatest sport ever invented




There's a hole over there, I'm gonna throw my bag in it.
The cornhole
