Or Georgia by the sea

Working for some man who may not know at all who I might be

If you ever see me coming and if you know who I am

And a lot more than I needed of some things that turned out bad

I got sidetracked in El Paso,
While trying to evade the law, the criminal made a pit stop in El Paso.

Stopped to get myself a map
The criminal needed to get their bearings and figure out their next move.

Went the wrong way in Pleura with Juanita on my lap
While attempting to flee, the criminal made a wrong turn, and had to make their escape with someone named Juanita on their lap.

And I went to sleep in Shreveport,
Eventually, the criminal decided to get some rest in Shreveport.

Woke up in Abilene
