Kenny Chesney – “I Go Back” In A Dallas Downpour: The Night The Music Didn’t Quit

A fan-shot clip titled “I Go Back (Live Performance In A Dallas Rainstorm)” has been making the rounds again—reminding No Shoes Nation of the night Kenny Chesney kept playing through sheets of rain in the Dallas area. The moment dates back to his Sun City Carnival Tour stop at Pizza Hut Park (Frisco) on May 2, 2009, when severe weather repeatedly rolled over the stadium. Chesney squeezed in songs—including a drenched, goosebump version of “I Go Back”—before the show was ultimately cut short for safety.

The storm-tossed performance quickly became part of tour lore. Video highlights—now archived on Chesney’s official site under “‘I Go Back’ in a Dallas Rainstorm”—capture the soaked stage, screaming fans in ponchos, and Chesney powering through as lightning flickered in the distance. The clip has since resurfaced periodically, each time drawing comments about the crowd’s resilience and the singer’s commitment to the moment.

What happened next cemented the story. Two weeks later, on May 17, 2009, Chesney returned to Dallas and played a free makeup concert, a rarity in big-tour economics. Both local coverage and country trade reports noted that he wasn’t contractually obligated to do it, but showed up anyway—an act that deepened his bond with the market and his live reputation.

“I Go Back,” originally a Top 5 hit and later included on the Live in No Shoes Nation release, has always been a memory-trigger for fans; hearing it in a Texas deluge only made the lyrics—about songs pulling you straight into the past—hit harder. Whether you’re discovering the clip for the first time or reliving it, it’s a reminder of why Chesney’s shows have such staying power: when the weather turns, the moment often turns epic.

Lyrics

“Jack and Diane” painted a picture of my life and my dreamsSuddenly this crazy world made more sense to meWell, I heard it today, and I couldn’t help but sing along‘Cause every time I hear that song

I go back to a two-toned, short-bed ChevyDrivin’ my first love out to the leveeLivin’ life with no sense of timeI go back to the feel of a 50-yard lineA blanket, a girl, some raspberry wineWishin’ time would stop right in its tracksEvery time I hear that songI go backI go back

I used to rock all night long to “Keep On Rockin’ Me Baby”Frat parties, college bars, just tryin’ to impress the ladiesWell, I heard it today, and I couldn’t help but sing along‘Cause every time I hear that song

I go back to the smell of an old gym floorThe taste of salt on a Carolina shoreAfter graduation and drinkin’ goodbye to friendsI go back to watchin’ summer fade to fallGrowin’ up too fast and I do recallWishin’ time would stop right in its tracksEvery time I hear that songI go backI go back

We all have a song that somehow stamped our livesTakes us to another place and time

So I go back to a pew, preacher, and a choirSingin’ ’bout God, brimstone, and fireAnd the smell of Sunday chicken after churchAnd I go back to the loss of a real good friendAnd the 16 summers I shared with himNow “Only The Good Die Young” stops me in my tracksEvery time I hear that songI go backI go back

To the feel of a 50-yard lineA blanket, a girl, some raspberry wineI go back (I go back)

To watchin’ summer fade to fallGrowin’ up too fast and I do recallI go back (I go back)

To the loss of a real good friendAnd the 16 summers I shared with himI go backI go backI go back
