Elvis had the bigger hit here in 1974, but Chuck Berry wrote this one and did it first. It was his last trip above the Top 50 until the infamous "My Ding-A-Ling" in 1972. It's sort of like a 60's audio version of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" where our protagonist has travel issues getting from Norfolk, VA to Los Angeles. And yes, the melody is exactly like "The Wabash Cannonball."
