Neighbor of Kentucky

I believe the answer is:

tennessee

(Other definitions for tennessee that I've seen before include "US state, capital Nashville" , "Memphis's state" , "playwright's assumed first name" , "... Williams, and southeastern US state" , "Southern US state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
