Music Spotlight: Cody Webb

In September of 2023, my brother sent me a video of a country song called “If Daddy Didn’t Have a Truck” by Cody Webb. At the time, TikTok wouldn’t play it because of “sensitive religious content.” That naturally made me want to listen and find out what about the song was so offensive. For inexplicable reasons, the lyrics I'da never known Jesus loves me/ Fell in love with kicking up dirt/ I'da never known how forgiveness or a carburetor works/ Only the good Lord knows how a good ol' boy like me mighta wound up/ If Mama didn't have a Bible/ And Daddy didn't have a truck were not permissible to the general public.
