I was told to just keep it short and it'll die out, but after a year, that plan isn't working and it's spreading.
You are certain it's johnsongrass? If it's bahiagrass it's easy

We have killed it on roadsides with a wick It's taller than all the other grass so the herbicide gets in the johnsongrass only

Mowing short isn't going to do anything. It has a pretty good root system

I have had dallisgrass in my yard and used a sponge with herbicide and put it directly on the plant and had goodness success but this may not be feasible for you if you have a lot
