Freelove Freeway is a song that was performed by David Brent in Episode 4 of the first series of The Office. Written during Brent's younger days as a musician, it is an earnest, Springsteen-esque rock song with somewhat cryptic lyrics.

Ricky Gervais performed the song with Mackenzie Crook during his much-maligned 2007 appearance at the Concert For Diana.

Lyrics:

Pretty girl on the hood of a cadillac, yeah
She's broken down on Freeway 9
I take a look, I get her engine started
And leave her purring and I roll on by
Bye, bye!

Free love on the Freelove Freeway
The love is free and the freeway's long
I got some hot love on the Hotlove Highway
Ain't going home 'cause my baby's gone (she's gone)

A little while later, see a Senorita
She's caught a flat trying to make it home
She says, "Por favor, can you pump me up?"
I say, "Muchos gracias, adios"
Bye, bye!

A long time later I see a cowboy crying
"Hey buddy, what can I do?"
He says, "I lived a good life, had about a thousand women,"
I said, "Why the tears?", he says, "Cause none of them was you".''
