We're a great big rollin railroad, One that everybody knows
We were born of gold and silver spikes, A hundred and fifty years ago
We're a million miles of history, A-shinin in the sun
We're the Union Pacific, And our story's just begun

From the great plains of Nebraska, To the California seas
From the summits of the Rockies, To the mighty redwood trees
We're a thousand wheels of freight train, Hear the diesel engines' power
We're the Union Pacific, Doin ninety miles an hour

Bound from Omaha to Portland, Through Cheyenne and Laramie
We're a headed west for Boise , On the mainline to the sea
Cross the flats at Salt Lake City, On to Vegas and LA
We're the Union Pacific, And we've got the right of way

From the green fields of the prairie, To the blue Pacific shore
We deliver your great cargo, And come rollin home for more
On the backbone of our nation, you can see us make the climb
We're the Union Pacific, And we're gonna be on time

From the green fields of the prairie, To the blue Pacific shore
We deliver your great cargo, And come rollin home for more
On the backbone of our nation, You can see us make the climb
We're the Union Pacific, And we're gonna be on time.

The Altar Billies are a trio from Orange County California fronted by guitarist/vocalist Michael W Stand. Rounding out the group are Johnny X on upright and Chuck Cummings on Drums. The group covers many classics hits, as well as newly penned originals.

The fellas have been playing all over Southern California for coming up to 10 years now. They've enjoyed such venues as the Anaheim House of Blues, The Observatory in Costa Mesa, Orange Street Fair, Silverado Canyon concert series, as well as many clubs in the OC area. They have also opened several times for local OC icon Big Sandy, as well as for Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats..

The group has released several singles recorded live at NRG studios in Hollywood (recording studio for such acts as No Doubt and John Fogerty). Both "Hold on" and "You Can't Look Up, when you're Look'n Down" are available on itunes and on youtube via the "Altar Billies Youtube Channel."

In 2014 they released their first full length project: "Head'n Out West" Each song on "Head'n out West" is a testament to the band's firm believe in God, family and country. There is more to this group than meets the eye, as this 15 song musical adventure sought to establish the group as a viable and serious rockabilly/ Americana act. "Head'n out West" brings plenty to the table and more, in a "Spirit of lightening" that will surely keep you rock'n, dance'n, shake'n and move'n.

2016 found the fellas hitting the trail once again with their latest release: “Long, Long Road.” With this project the group has fine-tuned their sound so that it is “as sharp as a tack.” “Long, Long Road” finds Michael W expanding his songwriting skills to incorporate aspects of swing jazz with songs such as “Hot,” “Tumbleweed,” and “Hot (Big Band Version).”

The title of the project, “Long, Long Road,” not only reflects the idea of staying the course and finishing strong, but reflects the “long” hours invested into the making of this project.

The Altar Billies are proud to carry the rockabilly torch and keep this musical heritage alive, and relevant. They are 3 swell guys that work hard, play together really well and have a good time in the process, and "yes" they like trains."
