No Permit Club

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Paper came in the mail Like a rain cloud in July “Sir Your little card’s suspended” Felt that drop behind my eyes Had a rough week at the range Shook my grip Missed my mark Sat out front in my truck Let it weigh down my heart [Chorus] No permit? No problem Welcome to the No Permit Club Pull a chair Tell your story We’ve all hit a wall Got stuck Yeah We’ve all had days Where the target looked like the sun No permit? No problem You’re still one of us [Verse 2] Old Joe laughed Slapped my back Said “Kid I’ve been there twice” Failed a test Lost my cool Had to swallow my pride He said “A card ain’t your courage A badge ain’t your spine You’re more than plastic and numbers You’re a work in progress Not a crime” [Chorus] No permit? No problem Welcome to the No Permit Club Pull a chair Tell your story We’ve all hit a wall Got stuck Yeah We’ve all had days Where the target looked like the sun No permit? No problem You’re still one of us [Bridge] This is for the shaky hands For the ones who had to start again (oh yeah) For the folks who took a step back Just to come back stronger in the end We wear our “almosts” like a jacket Jokes stitched over every scar You ain’t benched You’re just in practice You still belong right where you are [Chorus] No permit? No problem Welcome to the No Permit Club Pull a chair Find your footing We lift each other back up Yeah We’ll train We’ll learn Till that good day finally comes No permit? No problem You’re still one of us (no permit? no problem) You’re still one of us
