about

I’m Not Coming Home is the second EP from the Newcastle based Worimi/Gamilaroi singer/songwriter/performer Jacob Ridgeway, following from the release of his award-winning debut EP ‘Bullyman’ which was released to acclaim in August 2022.

I’m Not Coming Home provides a contemporary fusion inspired by his love of the melodic passion of RnB, authenticity of Country storytelling and the drive of Hip-Hop production.

Jacob’s brooding lyrics and raspy yet soulful vocal delivery, describes a journey of straying from oneself whilst also derived from the co-writers’ own trials, tribulations & perceptions.

I’m Not Coming Home was originally co-written with Ryan Cornish during the 2017 DAG Sheep Station Writers Retreat and released in February 2020 (Track 2, 3).

I'm Not Coming Home (Track 2, 3) was released as a single in February 2020, charted on the iTunes Alternative Chart (#22) and the iTunes All Genres Chart (#122). I'm Not Coming Home also charted on the Triple A 2022 Original 100 Countdown (#13).

lyrics

I wasn’t raised this way
I should’ve known better
But the grim is knocking at my door
I see him though the window

Times are hard now
If you been what I've been through
Tears in an empty cell
Hope she's doing well

Caught in the crossfire of love
Saving my soul for heaven & hell

I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home

Gave in to the devil
I learned to be numb
But the poison they fed me
It fucked me up

Sinful desire
Blinded by smoke
I was feeling all alone
And that's all she wrote

Caught in the crossfire of love
Saving my soul for heaven & hell

I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home

Caught in the crossfire of love
Saving my soul for heaven & hell

I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home
