Discover the story of the song > Too Fat To Fly – Roger Alan Wade

The lyrics talk about the protagonist being too fat to fly. They mention that there are no wings on a pachyderm, barnyard pig, or the protagonist's big ass, and that's why he can't fly. It suggests that if he tries to get on a plane or a circus train, there will be problems because of his size. So, he's better off taking a Greyhound bus or hitchhiking instead.
