Limerick city I survived
Portlaoise prison is occupied
Limerick city I survived
Portlaoise prison is occupied
Just another Irish boy running from the law, in a town full of smokers
Where fun was knocking jaws
But he took the kids from school
From English land she was charmed like a fool
We lived with mice who ran the farm, she rolled the dice for love and she got harmed
Days, no food, 3 young kids what a risk
She had to take
Missed their dad and England too
Is this love that she's been through

Limerick city I survived
Portlaoise prison is occupied
Just another English girl running from a broken heart
On the promise of new love it was doomed from the start
All she wanted was a family
Stability for herself and the 3
When the lad was arrested she dragged her tail
Across burnt bridges to England's end
I admire the woman who raised those kids she made mistakes and struggled through the tears
Every city she survived
She made mistakes but she's still alive
Every city we survived
We make mistakes but we're still alive
One more time
Limerick city I survived
Portlaoise prison is occupied
