"I Want to Live" is the title of a song by country music singer Josh Gracin. It is the first single off his debut album Josh Gracin. The song peaked at #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in mid-2004.
A mid-tempo ballad, "I Want to Live" centralizes on a character who, upon realizing that his life has been unsatisfactory, decides that he wants to change — to "take everything that this world has to give".
The song's opening guitar riff is borrowed from the Led Zeppelin song "Kashmir".[1] A fiddle-and-drum fadeout was omitted from the radio edit of "I Want to Live".
