Both “ Boat ” and “ Girl ” were named to the Nashville Songwriters Association International ’s prestigious “ Songs I Wish I Wish I ’ d Written ” list, which is why artists like Tim McGraw (“ Truck Yeah, ” “ How I ’ll Always Be ”), Justin Moore (“ Off The Beaten Path ”), LOCASH (“ I Love This Life ”), Cody Johnson (“ Let ’ s Build A Fire ”), and the iconic Hank Williams Jr. (“ God Fearin ’ Man, ” “ Those Days Are Gone ”) reach for Janson’ s songs for their own projects.
