"Buy Me a Boat" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Chris Janson.

On writing the song, Janson told Billboard that "I didn't pull any influence from anywhere except the stuff that I loved.

[3] On the strength of its performance, Janson became signed to Warner Bros. Records Nashville, and the song was re-released as a single.

[5] The single was selected by iHeartMedia for their "On The Verge" program that showcased new artists, giving the song airplay on 140 country radio stations for six weeks, starting May 4, 2015.

[6] An uncredited review from Taste of Country praised the "sharp lines" of the song and the prominent electric guitar in the production, in addition to saying that "[t]he mellow country-rocker is the sort of blue collar hero song that gets released every spring, but it comes across with sincerity sorely lacking from many others.

"[7] Based purely on radioplay by Bobby Bones and word of mouth, the song reached No.

It topped the Most Increased Audience and Most Added radio chart in its second week of release, jumping from No.
