I saw this somewhere:

“You know you’re a New Mexican if you hated the Texans until the Californians moved in.”

(bolding mine)

Maybe you shouldn’t have told that.

From Randy Newman’s song, _A Wedding in Cherokee County_:

There she is sitting there  
Out behind the smoke house in her rocking chair  
She don’t do nothin’  
She don’t say nothin’  
She don’t feel nothin’  
She don’t know nothin’  
Maybe she’s crazy I don’t know  
But maybe that’s why I love her so
