Welcome to the No Permit Club

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Locked my keys in the truck at the range Shot my score like a busted hinge Dropped my card in the port-a-john That’s the day my little badge was gone (oh man) [Pre-Chorus] Thought the world would end on Tuesday Like I lost my whole ID Then I saw that empty holster And it kinda started laughing back at me [Chorus] Welcome to the No Permit Club Pull up a chair Pour some coffee in your cup Had a bad day? Failed that qual again? You ain’t the first to get that letter in the mail My friend No permit? No problem That’s the key You still got your heart Your hands Your team We all miss the mark sometimes That’s just being human Welcome to the NPC You’re in good company [Verse 2] Heard a vet cuss out his overshot score Mama flunked her draw on the timed red door Rookie tripped Dropped mags in the mud We high‑fived Called it “advanced training for the crud” (hey!) [Pre-Chorus] We’ve all worn that awkward lanyard “Temporarily sidelined” But a setback’s just a safety Built into the grand design [Chorus] Welcome to the No Permit Club Pull up a chair Pour some coffee in your cup Had a bad day? Failed that qual again? You ain’t the first to get that letter in the mail My friend No permit? No problem Sing with me You still got your grit Your goals Your creed We all drop the ball sometimes That’s just being human Welcome to the NPC You’re in good company [Bridge] This is for the folks in line Retake form in their hands this time Laughing through the nerves and doubt ‘Cause you know you’ll earn it back somehow (oh yeah) [Chorus] Welcome to the No Permit Club Pull up a chair Pour some coffee in your cup Had a bad day? Yeah We’ve been there too But a busted round of training doesn’t get to define you No permit? No problem Wait and see You’ll clear that course Get back on the beat Till then we’ll be right here Joking through the bruising Welcome to the NPC You’re in good company You’re in good company
