It is a song written long ago and just happened to have the right words put to the right music so as to become a tradition and a classic like an anthem or hymn. It From what I heard it is a song that tells about a "dying way of life" the ways or rural society. It tends to tug at the heartstrings to hear about people who feel that their happy home has changed as technology and changing ways takes over. It is the kind of song that can make me teary, but ultimately change has to happen and older ways of society and culture were not as carefree and happy as stated in songs.

They let the drunks sing it ! ... It's supposed to be a solemn homage to home written by soldiers hundreds of miles from home ready to face death in combat during the civil war ... Get it right this year nbc, stick to the band, the flag, the roses and the horses during Old Kentucky Home. ABC nailed it spot on every year!

Whenever I see this, it makes me sad to know that it might not be as big of a deal if the breeding and racing industry in Kentucky falls because Senator David Williams is too stubborn to budge on the whole gambling expansion idea. It deters lots of money from coming to Kentucky...he's bad for business.
