He plays melodic acoustic/folk music, and is often accompanied by a rotating number of Canadian indie rock musicians, such as Daniel Romano and Spencer Burton of Attack in Black. The name City and Colour comes from his own name: Dallas, a city, and Green, a colour.

[Verse 1] GD I can hear my train a-comin’ Em It’s a lonesome and distant crime * Some Hammer on's on these chords. GD I can hear my train a-comin’ Em Now im running for my life
[Chorus] GDEm What makes a man walk away from his mind? GDEm I think I know, I think I might know.
[Verse 2] GD I can feel the wind a-blowin Em Sending shivers down my spine GD I can feel the wind a-blowin Em Shakes the trees and the power lines GDEm What makes a man live his whole life in disguise? GDEm I think I know, I think might know
[Chorus] GDGD What makes a man (i think i know) What makes a man (i think i know) Em ohh oh oh
[Break] GDEm
[Bridge] I can see the sun is setting It’s casting shadows on the sea I can see the sun is setting It’s getting colder, startin’ to freeze What makes a man want to break a heart with ease? I think I know, I think I might know.
[Chorus 2] GDGD What makes a man (i think i know) What makes a man (i think i know) Em ohh oh oh
[Verse 3] I can hear my train a-comin’ It looks like time is not on my side I can hear my train a-comin’ Im still running for my life What makes a man pray when he’s about to die I think I know, I think I might know
[Chorus 3] GDGD What makes a man (i think i know) What makes a man (i think i know) Em ohh oh oh * (x2)
