"Anything but Mine" is a song written by Scooter Carusoe and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Chesney.

[1] The song is a mid-tempo ballad in which the narrator recalls a teen-aged encounter with a female, during a late summer vacation in a beach town.

In the chorus, he explains that although he has to leave the next day to his home in Cleveland (TN), he still tells her, "I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine".

Scooter Carusoe, the writer of this song, also co-wrote Chesney's 2008 Number One hit "Better as a Memory" with Lady Goodman.

Sonny Miller, who also shot the film "Blue Crush," was employed for the underwater and surfing scenes in California.
